Default "Detailed" my daily runner (pics)

Always thought these "detailing" geeks were totally OTT, but I do like a clean car, something beyond just your usual wash/polish, but not to the extend of paint guages and using £300 waxes etc...

Bought myself a G220 from Polished bliss last week and tried it out on the mazda, didn't take any before shots, but I'm very impressed with the results. Being white you see EVERY mark on the car, using normal pilsh/t-cut by hand would have taken days to get the same results I achieved in 3-4 hrs total. Definately going to be tackling one of the other cars asap.

As far as showing off your handy work those pictures dont do anything really, be better in the sunlight to show how much correction you achieved, but yeah looks clean

Pop down south and I'll let you do my escort.
You think a 'new' mazda was bad....

Looks great though. Almost pearlescent in the pics. Nice depth to the colour.

Also:
how much was the polisher and did you find it easy to use?
