Golf 5 GTI Polished

[PAP AND FLIES]

Hola 7

Hows this machine polished by me .... all by myself. Now my back needs a detail.



A wash was done with Shield Wash and Wax
Then I used Braso to remove some scraches and marks
I now proceeded to the paint, this was when I decided only the best would do, so I took my new variable drill and popped a lambs bonnet on and slowly polished this baby.
I used another lambs bonnet to remove the polish.
Polish for this car was Waynes Colour Revivor.

For the wheels and tyre I used Handy Andy and then polished it with the same polish as the paint.

So I did not use meguires as the owners budget was tight and my polisher is broken and I made a plan with my drill.

All in all gents this was how it came out after whole saturday. Chech my bakkies reflection on the car.

Next time I want better products and polisher, as the customers watch u like a hawk.

Lol. I'm not sure if ur serious or having a laugh here

brasso handy andy power drill. Interesting

[calypso]

Well its a start, I guess it can only get better from here when products designed for automotive paint are used.

[Woodie]

As Lambchop has already commented - I'm not sure if you're taking the piss here or if this is a serious post.

Some comments

• Handy Andy with it's ammonia content should not be used on painted surface - even if it's only the wheels.
• Removing an LSP (you refer to polish) with a lambswool bonnet is not an optimal process as the lambswool is harsh and will cause holograms (particularly when used with a drill)
• Limited budget or not - you've done the customer a disservice by using unconventional methods and product replacements

Grab the free Meguiar's class and then a dual action polisher before dashing for the world of rotary polishers. Bentley should not be used as a canvas for picking up rotary skills
