It takes longer than you think

It's been a long while since I had a car worthy of polishing.

I have spent all weekend tinkering with my 924 and today i got the Meguiars polisher out.

Sadly the bonnet and roof could really do with a rub down and clear coat. Might be braver after the show

Anyway, I started with a good wash , machine polish nothing too abrasive 83 on Meguiars scale, then a machine glaze and finally a good coat of wax. Well that took the best part of a day

Looking good and ready for the cream tea run and show.

Jason, I'm sure one of the detailing guys will have a paint thickness gauge if you ask. Some pics would be good or do we have to wait until the show?

Pics would be good but my hand is too stiff to press the camera button today :D

A lot of cars will have had years of T/Cut and fairy liquid abuse. :cry:

I wouldn't be surprised if one or two reading this are still using one or tuther. :roll:

Some pictures would be good, so that we can admire the fruits of your labour :wink:
