as this was a straight black car its the hardest color to actually get looking good!

after claying i simply machined polished it using 3m fast cut plus, i swear by this cutting polish(been using it for a few years now). car was then given a IPA wipedown to remove any oils/polish etc

i then went over it with glaze by machine (cant remember the glaze name, will check), then straight over with megs #16 wax

this is a new wax to me and had only used on the girlfriends polo but after reading good reviews i new it would be up to the job, about 3-4 layers were put on the car. mainly for winter protection(took advantage of having the car inside the hall :D )
