Shiny Shiny :)
Just spent a couple of hours getting the '8 shiny for AITP tomorrow and using some more of the goodies from my box.
1 - Wash with 'Born to be mild' and the lambswool mitt 2 - Clay all over, in pretty good nick from last time I did it which I'm sure was about March. 3 - Going over with Poorboys White Diamond using the foam pad, then buff with the microfibre. 4 - Going over with Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub using the cool finger mitt pads, then buff with the MF 5 - Clean the engine bay with plastic cleaner/shine (I did the inside last week and was too tired to do it again). Some of the little scratches are covered over a bit with the White Diamond and wax, but it really needs going over with a proper compound. Looks like I need to invest in a DA polisher machine and some compounds to fill the bigger scratches. Some pretty shiny panels now though, if I do say so myself  Not too great as they're from my phone camera and don't show some of the swirlies (I don't think the car's had a proper polish ever).
