I think it came out alright:up .



This is my new DD and the PO seems to have done only automated car washes:wall



OTC products used:



I use the Woolite mix(thanks Scottwax) for cleaning the interior and TW cleaner/conditioner spray for the leather.Dressed vinyl/dash with Megs IQD and EO Nano Protectant.EO tire and wheel cleaner and AA least bling spray dressing for the tires and wells.



I washed down with GC,polished out swirls with cough cough Nu Finish Scratch Doctor and topped it off with my new favorite wax,Megs #26.:Geezx:

Both Nu Finish SD and M26 were applied with a cheap $14 buck orbital polisher with the supplied pads,wool for polishing and foam for the M26.



To be honest the NU Finish SD did a pretty good job with the swirls.No it`s not perfectly de swirled however it`s pretty much there.Not a bad product at all!



For the wax I decided to get some M26 after seeing Scottwax and others getting such awesome results with it.It really is an awesome product!



Love this stuff!:waxing:



Got a decent day weatherwise

Although from the pictures that doesnt look half bad, you will get much better results using a better polish than nu-finish. Try something like OP on a white LC pad :waxing: , followed by RMG and then (since you have it already) #26.



You will be amazed at the difference, but good job :goodjob given the products you have!

Really nice work, just goes to show you can get a nice finish using retail level products. :)

Thanks Scott.



I was using NXT prior and experimented with Nu Finish but your post got me curious on trying out M26 and the results were fantastic.



Thanks dude!:waxing:

I agree with you however I feel it`s hard to argue with the results however they got done.



I`d like to buy a PC but knowing myself it would probably snowball from there lol:waxing: .

Completely agree with this, not always necessary to spend £Â£Ã‚£ to get a great finish with sorted technique. :)
