so she helped me do mine, in fact she did most of it which was a big help as i had ripped ligaments and cartlidge in my wrist and can put literally zero pressure on it so im a bit **** at polishing and buffing at the moment.

She wants to do her car properly and hers hasnt been washed properly since she bough it, new over a year ago. Mine hadnt had a good clean since may so i let her have a go give her an idea of how tough her car will be to clean, with all bonded crap, etchings and marks to try and clean off.

So we first washed it with slick&suds, lambswool, 2 buckets and a karcher. Dried off with waffle towels.
We then went round the car with poorboys blue carnauba polish, and there was enough marks, spots and etchings on my paint but she stuck with it for probably more than an hour and got 95% of them out, I was impressed.
We then finished the car off with my new product i was desperate to try out, the P21S councours carnauba. I was told that carnauba would hide away the flake in the paint, but it hasnt, in direct sun the flake is more prominent and shines right out at you.

She can definitely do it again!

In the background theres my stepdads stripped out sierra 4x4, hes had it from new and on about 180,000 miles, when the first engine gave up it had a burton power 2.9 V6 put in it and is putting out 240HP, hence the volvo badge:rolleyes:
he works down a farm dirt track so its never clean, but it goes like hell

good effort.

Not so good choice of wax, it doesnt last long at all, there are lots of better waxes out there for similar money
