Hi there, so with the weather looking quite good this coming weekend down here in the SE I’m going to give the car a quick stage 1 machine polish with my DA’s and meguiars D300 compound.
Now as this is my only car and used as a daily for months at a time and always kept outside as I don’t have a garage. So I’m not looking for perfection as there are stone chips over the front bumper roof down the sides etc.
I started with a full Decon as usual and clay mitt the whole car, this took next to no time and these things are worth there weight in gold.
I managed to correct most of the spider swirl marks from the last time I did this on the roof and spoiler last night, got two coats of Cquartz uk 3.0 on and left over night as there was no rain forecasted.
I will say I’m doing all the correction work outside without my marquee as I’ve meant it out and so far it’s polishing ok without to much trouble from the occasional breeze.
I may have said before that I bought gtechniq CSL and exo but as this will require a much longer cure time between costs and lack of garage facilities I opted for Cquartz instead, as I used this on my TTS a few years back and it’s extremely user friendly.
So I will add photos of my kit and work if you folks would like me to.
One last thing, the gtechniq kit as never been used so I’m looking to sell this, along with my mtm Astra pressure washer gun snow foam canon and quick disconnect 45degree nozzle as I have a new one for my kranzle and bought Cquartz uk 3.0 instead.
If anyone is interested I’ll send over the photos I have of these bits of kit and we can do a deal.
Cheers guys&gals
