GKGSJQKS Banned 259 Member For: 10y 3d Gender: Not Telling Posted 17/05/16 05:54 AM Share Posted 17/05/16 05:54 AM Spent the whole weekend giving the car a much needed detail as it had quite a few swirl marks and hazing present. This was my first time but it turned out pretty good. I believe with some more practice and confidence I will get an even better result. Washed, clay bar, polished and waxed using Meguiar's products only. Used a DA polisher to get rid of the imperfections. Had to remove the stripes to do the entire area so most of you will be happy about that, in fact I agree now that it does look better plain black. Now I just need to follow up with proper wash technique every time. Video was taken after being driven around already but you can't tell. It's just a little bit shiny now. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/716/#findComment-1590946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
