not so much swirls, as RDS's, everywhere!

Using a rotary, 3m polishing pad, and 3m FCP, FC, EFC and Ultrafina, mixture of all four here and there on most panels to get the level of correction right and the result sharp.

attempted 50:50 not too clear tho:

After this I got the idea I'd got enough before an dafter pics so cracked on and finished the first stage.

Second stage was rotary, 3m Ultrafina pad (blue) and 3m Ultrafina.
This was then followed up using the Porter Cable, another blue pad and Swissvax Cleaner Fluid. Total machining time around 6 hours.

The Cleaner fuild was then topped with Swissvax Mystery:

Whilst first layer cured I started on the exhausts:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/VW%20Golf%20SM/e8d01c16.jpg

All glass polished and buffed, alloys waxed, and buffed. The Mystery then buffed off and all panels gaps cleaned whilst the first layer settled after buffing. I then checked all areas, dressed tyres and a few jobs before adding the second layer.

Pics taken after first layer as I didn't want to rush dropping second layer on too quick.
