This is why bodyshops use 3M and Farecla.. Not Magayers and Autoslime

The car was flatter than a flat thing and pinker than a pink thing. I think anyone who saw this sh*tter on saturday can vouch for its sh*tyness. The drivers door and bootlid were the only panels that had any shine as they had been replaced lol

Done with a Mop.. G3, Finesse-IT, Hand-glaze, Top-Wax.. took about two hours start to finish.

Totally pointless really as I'm having it resprayed, but I was sick of driving around in a really shit looking car.

Even just using G3 with a buffer gives outstanding results.Then a good sealer keeps it good.

Yeah variable speed mop. I think people are bettter off spending £100-150 on a decent mop and heads then learning to use it rather than spending £50 on a bottle of polish

Wow nice finish, always found the Farecla G3 and then G10 give good results at college, thinking of doing my car at somepoint, once I repair all the dents, and scratches on it. But your car has come out amazingly well.
