QEW wash

Purple power on the wheel wells to clean them

Clay magic clay

Meg`s 85x2 with Meg`s red pad on PC

VM on LC white pad on PC

SG by hand

AA in wheel wells

Meg`s End. Gel on tires

Stoners IG on glass

Mothers Mag&Alum Polish on Exhaust





The car was in pretty good condition.....looks to have been polished a little lightly before me....so all the easy stuff was already out...i just dealt with the deeper swirls and scratches...there still are scratches here and there...but it isn`t worth removing that much clearcoat...

It`s too bad there wasn`t more sun, as that color really really sparkles in the sun. The car looks great! I like that Magnetic Metallic Red a lot. :)



That brick driveway skirt is neat.

Meg`s DC? I thought that stuff was extremely abrasive? How do you like it?

DC is amazing....it cuts right through swirls and I just work it till it`s pretty clear.....then go right over it with VM and it wipes off really smoothly.....i only buff off DC when i start, to see if im getting the swirls out...after that i just leave the residue to be buffed off by the next polish....it saves allot of headaches...as long as you use it with the PC it isn`t extremely abrasive....it`s usiong like DACP with 1/3 the amount of time...its really good for deep swirls when you don`t wanna pull out the rotary....which is really hard to use on a car like this with all the curves.....so i can use the PC single handedly instead of having a death grip on the rotary trying not to mess up....

That`s great info. A lot of members have asked what was the next step aggressive product after #83 DACP, so I guess this is it. I wonder why nobody has ever recommended this before. It obviously looks good.
