Default Polishing by hand

Some people think their paint is beyone repair and needs to be re-sprayed as its faded well that is not the case. If you don't own a machine polisher you can still achieve great results by hand if you use the correct products. A workmate asked me if i could sort out his red audi as it was seriously faded. I used menzerna intensive polish with a german applicator pad and lots of elbow grease. Here is the results

[b]Before:


50/50


[b]After:


Rather impressive results and can save you a fortune

Impressive but i bet you were tired afterwards!!!

Machine Polishers can be slightly expensive initially, but mines paid for itself already with doing mates cars etc...and it gives better results than by hand

but you have done very well
