Newbie Does Sister a favour

[Morne1312]

Did my younger sisters car the weekend. Not a full detail as she was in a hurry but did manage to wash the car, removal of contamination by claying and then polishing. She actuallly just brought it to see if i can make her accident with an automatic gate loook better and i thought i would treat her with a full car polish and engine cleaning.

The Scuff was removed with my cyclo polisher and Mezerna 400 polish

I then polished a test spot with Mezerna 2500 but it had not much effect on swirl removal so i switched to Mezerna 1000 wich gave me the desired effect.
The whole car was then polished in this manner which was then followed by Fusso Soft Coat. Engine was washed with APC cleaner and microfiber cloth wipe down and then with shield sheen.
All Plastic Trim and Mirrors treated with Aerospace 303

Dont have much before picture. Sorry :oops:
