Detailed a silver car with Meguiars

[Bulla2000]

Hi,
last saturday I detailed a Vauxhall (Opel) Vectra-B, Bj. 2000, 167.000 km, in silver. Tha car was in very bad condition. Sorry, no pics before.
After cleaning the interior:

The wheels needed two passes of Meguiars wheel brightener:eek: .

Outside I use my Rotex DA polisher with Meguiars #83 and 5.5 orange LC-pads. After that one pass of Meguiars #82 with 6.5 white LC pad. Hard work with the #83.:buffer:
2 coats of Meguiars #21 with four hours between the layers and at last one coat of Nattys blue.

Silver is not the best color to have great success, but it seems to be a well done job, isnt it?

Nice job...Yes it is hard to make Silver pop...especially in pictures...your work looks fine..and I know it looks better in person....

The Meg's Pro line works nice as a system...takes a little learning but when used right they do work nice....

Your work shows you did fine job....looks great

Nice work! My cousin drives the exact same car, down the color and everything. His is a diesel though with a five speed.

Bulla, man every time you pop up you always have fine detailed vehicles, nice.

Hope all is well with you buddy, that silver is looking slick. As stated by my bros Al and joe.p the vehicle looks great.

Very nice job and good to see you.

EDIT: pics showing up now.

Bulla2000, the car came out very nice. Two thumbs up!

@Nica: special thanks. Yes, I´m fine and I´m trying to test some other polishes in the future (Menzerna). Its made here in germany, but nobody gets it. Menzerna exported their products to USA, back to UK and back to my garage *gggrrr*. Hope you are fine too.

But if you want to know what I´m doing after strong detailing, look at this :D:
