i washed my fiesta st on saturday then spent hour and half clay barring it then gave it a good coat of auto glm super resin. Was really pleased with it, took some good pics of it in the sun. Then that night i pull into a petrol station and the paintwork despite being really bright gleaming red, looked bloody awful. Swirl mark central. I just dont understand, i used brand new towels to dry it and to polish it. Surely i dont have to resort to machine mopping it, its only 3yrs old.

Cossie looks very nice


Sounds like it needs a proper paint correction Mike.
You would be surprised at the state of paint work on new cars.
