Having a go!
Well, I've been 'detailing' my house, so I thought I'd have a go at the S8...
I started with the bootlid, and have now moved on to the bonnet, with a Megs G220, 95 compound and a poorboy's cutting mop to remove the swirling, that rather spoils the look of the car. Not quite as easy as I'd initially thought (by a long way), this Audi paint certainly is tough!

Percy Vere!
 Do you have a finer polish about the 50 mark. Something like Menzerna Final Finish (PO 106 FA) to lift any buffer marks or holograms. It will make a perfect finish.What wax/sealer will you use?

I'm using Megs #95 (coarse ) with poorboy's cutting mop
#83 (med) with med mop (megs & poorboy's) #80 (finishing) with finishing mop (megs or poorboy's) I've got some A/G HiDefinition wax (& pre cleaner) which worked really well on the Harley, but that's black the '8' is silver LY7M, that I'll give a try. Not yet suffering with the dreaded vibration white finger syndrome either!
