Wow, just finished using the PC 7424 for the first time. Still needs a bit off work on understanding which pads to use with which polishes, but for the time being I just went gentle to get used to the equipment. Here`s the results :

Thanks mate. :D
I first gave the car a good wash down with Meguiar`s Gold Class shampoo - I`ve used this stuff for a couple of years now and absolutely swear by it. Then dried off with microfibre cloths.
I had previously clay-barred the car about two months ago and the finish is still nice and smooth, so went straight into the Porter Cable fun time :
I just used the Sonus restore polish that came with the Porter Cable, and opted for the SFX-2 Pad (the white one) particularly for polishing as I wasn`t too sure how I would be using a machine like this for the first time - better to be safe than sorry.
But next time, I might try used the SFX-1 Pad instead as it`s more for getting rid of the swirls and hairlines which still bug the car due to neglect from the previous owner who kinda loved car washes and tree sap !! :mad:
Anyway, after the polshing was complete I then quickly went around and used the Meguiar`s Hot Tyre Shine, and finished by cleaning the windows with Mer.
All in all though, it took about 3 hours today to complete the above and I`m real happy with the results......God only knows what it`ll be like when I get the pad to polish mixture completely right
Very nice looking TT! Are those A8 wheels?

Looking good, what model year is that TT? I was looking at a TT but went with a A4 instead, my coupe days are past me now, well that is till I can trade up to one of these.

Thanks for the compliments guys.....really appreciated
DieselMDX : I hope you haven`t gone trying to get the marks of yer screen ! :chuckle: They are definitely there, due to the previous owner loving car washes !! <yeuch!> This was just a trial run - first time using the PC and all - so I just used the light pad with a light polish. I`ll probably give it a bid more of hard time next time around (hopefully next week if the sun stays around that long)
MorBid : It`s a 2002 plate 225 model. The A4 is an amazing car, but your coupe days are never over bud :2thumbs:
