So here we are again, not much of an update as I've been rather busy with work and just trying to survive. I did pick up one of these rather low cost DA's from Argos last weekend, so thought I would have a go today, and see how much damage I could do to my car.

As I wanted to compound my car I also picked up these, although I have others which I used by hand

I also bought some of these waffle polishing pads, as they are easier to use over the corners/edges of the car.

I had pre-washed the car, and decided that it didn't sound like sand paper when I rubbed my hand over the paint work, so it didn't need a clay.

But firstly I wanted to do the headlights, as yes, they had gone cloudy already having only done them a little while ago.

A little cloudy:

By this time it had already started to cloud over, with the odd spot of rain.
