I used a rotary mop with Meguiars cutting compound and then polish and then wet look showroom car shine on the paint, then done all the chrome with wd-40 and the plastics with back to black, I was getting my new alloys (tyres done with wet look tyre shine) thanks to the Nissan Navara alloy wheel recall ... Its a 06 D and it could pass for a 11 D0 -

Spent all afternoon in the sun cleaning my teg, my dad washed a jeep & a car in the time I washed mine lol. On my mobile so no pics now.
Apparently I'm a bad influence on him though, started polishing his accord to show him how well it looked and when he seen the result on one patch & took over to do the whole lot. Owes me a bottle of meguiars & micro fibre cloth now I'm not getting them back! Fecker!
Wants Honda mats now, any old mats aren't good enough for his car! :rolleyes:0 -

My car's paint correction is finished
I was blacklighting each panel after correcting it, washed the car when I finished, dried it and applied another 2 coats of blacklight.
I AM WRECKED! ANd there's still some panels I'm not fully happy with. Main one is the bonnet but I'm not gonna bother further with it as I've decided to get it resprayed in the future.
To anyone who wants to spruce up their car and use about 30 hours of their life doing so, paint correction is for you
EDIT: pics tomorrow!0 -

Feel that. I've done 2 in the past few weeks and now the pug is begging.
It's a killer but a great feeling once you've tidied up and it's there gleaming imo
Nice one. Hope you enjoy your first glimpse int he morning. Maybe you'll be lucky and have a bit of sunshine to make it better.0 -

The problem is, I'm sick of the sight and sound of the D/A and sick of the smell of the polish even though it's lovely but I now want to do my sister's red polo! All I see is the swirl marks on it! I know it's only a Polo but I just want that feeling of satisfaction of a gleaming, defect-free panel!
Sunshine would be great but even if it's rain I don't mind this time, I'm certain I'll have biblical beading 0
