update... i was asked to take a mates lad to his prom tonight, so this last week i have been busy!

so in the end, i bought a backing pad, and a set of 3 dodo juice fin pads, orange, green and black.

i done most of the cutting with the green pad as i dont want to just go for it with the orange and fook it up!

it was done over a few days as i just dont have time to do it all in one hit.

so, the car was foamed with auto raechem cherry foam
lanced off
washed with dodo juice sour power
lanced off
clayed
tar removed
washed
dried
then cut with the rotary , green pad, gtechnic P1

now, i found that unless i used loads of P1 it just went dry and didnt machine at all, so i had to use a fair bit of the P1 to get it to cover... this resulted in it spraying the shit everywhere and it was a right fooker to get off!
i didnt machine the boot lid or the passenger side due to the tie of night/kids in bed etc so ended up doing those by hand. there are still the odd RDS in there but it seems to have got rid of the swirl marks which was what i was after.

next i polished, again mostly by the rotary with autoglym deep gloss polish as i already had it.
then waxed with dodo juice blue velvet

i have not had time yet to take the wheels off and do them properly so they have only had iron x and lancing. they came up ok as ive been using the iron x every time i wash it.
but when i do get the wheels off i will clean with iron x, lance, tar remove, clay bar, and seal with cquartz dlux, i have already bought this just not had time to use it.

oh, cleaned the glass with autoglym glass polish and then i think were done!

so, some pics: (only iphone pics im afraid!)
