Detailed: 2006 Honda Civic (Silver) & 2005 Holden Astra (Black)

Just finished a detail with a friend last night, on my Honda, it was a simple job with simple products (all K-mart brands washed with Meguiars Gold Class, first layer of wax is Meguiars NXT followed by a layer of Turtle Wax), still thinking about which professional products to order as I just got into this detailing craze :P

On my friends Holden Astra, the car was washed, removed swirls, polish (SSR) and seal with poorboy's products.

Any comments welcome for improvement welcome? and btw, for the Honda, considering it is still quite a new car, anyone reckon it needs a polish yet?

Another Aussie!!!

If you want AG gear downunder conrtact Welcome to Waxit.com.au - Australia's home of Premium Car Care Products, brands = Pinnacle, Swissol, Zaino, Wolfgang, Poorboys, Klasse. Also look at the links on Dave's site.

Looks like good work so far, the true test is to get the black car under some lights!!!

Welcome. Your car looks great. That makes it difficult to give you comments for improvement as you requested but here goes. Your car doesn't look like it needs a polish. However it might be in need of a clay. Other than that I'd trade out the waxes that you're using for either Souveran Paste or Maxwax.
Here's the process WASH-CLAY-POLISH-PROTECT

^thx... I'm just putting a list of what to order from waxit.com, but I just wanted to make my car shine so I just tried using some TurtleWax which was better than I expected, I think I might do the whole process of wash, clay, polish and wax in a month or so, will definetly post some pictures after I'm done.. thanks for the comments guys
