    Looking at those before shots... Was that car ever polished in it's life? Very nice end result though.

    haha sorry guys for late reply i didnt get any notifaction by email that there was replys.

    haha no i dont look like the hulk. Polishing doesnt really get u buff just makes u really fit, its more endurance then strength i'm no bigger then a light weight boxer. Belive it or not i find cars really easy as im a aircraft detailer (much more physical)

    This car got a 4 stage machine cut and 2 stage machine seal and wax

    This car was polish with a rotary dewalt sander/polisher machine using mostly 3m products and a phew secret ones

    this is wat was done:

    1) car washed and prepsol wiped down to get any excess sealant/wax of
    2)took before pics
    3) 3m extra cut
    4) 3m fast cut
    5) 3m perfect it 3000 swirl remover
    6) 3m ultrafina
    7) prepsol wipedown to make sure there was absolutly no swirls left, and too them after pics outside
    8) then pressure washed to get any left over polish of in any cracks and things as seen in pics
    9) machine using a dual head cyclo machine with out secret aircraft sealant
    10) another coat of our aircraft sealant
    11) once the sealant had cured i put a coat of our carnauba wax over the sealant to keep it a deeper/wetter sort of look (bonnet got 2 coats)
    12) treated all exterior plastics and tyres using 3m tyre restorer.
    13)exterior windows light hand polish
    14) interior windows wiped down
    15) went right through the car cleaning any polish trap in any crack and door trims
    16) exhaust tips polished
    17) had sex with car LOL jks


    oh i also used micropak mircofiber cloths and waffle weave for drying..

    Was not my car but a mates car that was selling it but now is not selling it due to him begging the missus to keep it cause it look too good, the baby that is on the way is just going to have to sit in the back hahaha

    catchas . Simon.

    PS: for thos not experience in using rotary buffers i would recommend using a harder cut then the swirl remover or even ultrafina.

    depends on who u get to do it. theres not too many detailers that actually know what there doing. I dont think you could find anyone to do it for less then 350 unless of course they dont do it properly.

    yeh but theres not many that would do it at that price

    u could expect up to $900 from some

    these guys for example:

    Final Inspection - Auto Detailing

    i know they do a really good job but u gotta pay for it lol
