That mug shot one i took seems have to caught on i think!! lol

Perfect way to grade a detailing by the reflection picture! lol

Looks good Iain!

I got a Mondeo to do on the weekend and to say the least i have a full day ahead, swirls so bad it looks like it was cleaned with a brillo pad for 6 months... lol
Its in red so not as bad as black, but it aint gonna be easy, might have to get a PC for it i think!!!

So what do you use mate to de-swirl it?

Also once the wax has worn off will they still be there?

the third 'mid detail' pic shows the car with no polish, no sealant and no wax! the afters show the car polished, sealed and waxed.

The swirls will not come back so long as the owner never takes it to a wash your car using the same sponge I washed the last 500 with car wash.....;)
