Some before shots
    After (final result of the whole process)      And a shot of the swirl splatter. Only real downside I suppose.  Overall Very happy. Now to do the windows and the plastics. |

Yeah all those products are really good and as u can see the end result is fantastic. Im glad u praised the Megs clay kit as thier arent many of us that use/like them. I personally think for the money you pay they are well worth it!
And the car looks awesome btw!! I have all those products sitting at home waiting for me to use them as well, just been trying to find time to get the shed cleared out so i can get a car in thier!! Good work! Andrew

Thanks XRFan101!
I found the Megs quik clay kit good value too. I did work the clay for a while on each panel. What I used as an indication of smoothness was the resistance of the clay action across the body. At first there was a bit of resistance, even when gliding across the megs quick detail spray. Over time I got the clay to glide across the paintwork with ease. I could almost push the clay and it would almost slide a few inches. Once done I folded the square bit of clay and flattened out ready for next application. I found the roof and bonnet with the most contamination compared to the sides and back. Those products were really good and have learnt lots from them. When I get the motorvation (sp? hah) I will try them on our other car too, a small toyota echo 5dr hatch! Good luck with yours XRFan101, if your anything like me, I procrastinated for a long time and just said I gotta do it, once your in you cant turn back. Good luck again. |

Awesome, just awesome choc. I am glad that you called me and took my advice
The paint looks terrific now. keep putting driven marine on once every month for a few months then just use a good detail spray to amp up the gloss and protection

Thanks Matt. It was a great little chat about detailing and racing and stuff. It was nice to talk to the master!
Oh by the way, just got a message from a friend who saw the BA wagon parked up next to a new VE2 wagon and he says the VE doesnt even come close in terms of shine. He reckons the paint is unreal and looks like new. Its makes it worth while when you hear comments like that. I'll apply another layer of driven marine soon, but just a question in a months time will i need to wash, clay the paint and prepsol before applying again? Thanks again. Choc. |

I need to clear em out as today was the end of an era and the beginning of a new one for me. Picked up the buffers for the last time. Might be interested in selling one of my two makita rotaries for $150 bucks, its near new only four or so months old.

Congratulations on your decision, I'm sure you will have many more happy & relaxed hours with family/friends now that you dont need to stress about whatever it was you were stressing about.
I just hope you will stick around on the forums to continue giving tips & tricks to all us car nuts. I currently have Menzerna PO85U that I use with my Kestrel DAS-6 DA RO. It is the first abrasive polish, and machine, I have ever worked with. There's a few patches on my bonnet that, after working with the 85U, look like they need to be hit with something a little harsher. Would Prima cut be a good candidate for that? (To be followed up with the 85U of course) What grade sanding marks will Prima cut remove? |

Prima cut is the strongest of the range and doesnt say exactly what size sanding marks it would take out but at a guess, I'd say 900 to 1200 grit. its gritty stuff and very powerful, but when broken down fully and jewelled at low speed, can finish down all ready for 85U or other soft polish
XRfan - yes hydro is a detail spray with synthetic wax. good durability and strong filling properties
