Default Detailed Scooby

Just finished detailing the scoob. After 2 days of detailing the results, in my opinion, impressive.

Steps to detailing

1. Wash Car, wheels and under arches
2. Dry with non scratch drying towel
3. Rotary Car - using polishing pad, and menzerna final finish 85rd
4. Glazed car with chemical guys glaze panel by panel and buff with microfibre
5. Waxed car with Zymol, panel by panel and buff off with microfibre
6. Cleaned glass with Auto Glym fast glass
7. Dressed wheels

In total took 2 days to machine polish the car.

If anyone needs advice on detailing, just shout.

Nice mate.I know how hard it is to get Black looking good. Just keep adding the coats and they tend to stay pretty good.

85rd is a polishing compound only to be used with a rotary machine polish. The rotary is made by metabo, a similar one is also made by makita. check out this site for a guide to machine polishing. Basically the menzerna used with with a rotary polish will remove swirls from the paintwork.
