Looks great!! Good work, did you use a DA or rotary? What tyre gel do you use?

Rotary buffer. Maguires Endurance Tyre Gel.

Only used the buffer once before on my last car , don't think I'll be doing it again any time soon. It just splatters everywhere . This time I masked off everything that wasn't getting buffed and all panel gaps , but every time I moved to a new panel the previous one got splattered. The compound is a bitch to get off if left to dry (thats why i masked off , learnt lesson from 1st try) so I was going round in circles. Scrubbing dried compound off a nice shiney buffed panel just puts swirls back on !
All the gear and no idea it would seem. Next time it'll be a paid professional I think. Not that the car needed it , white seems to hide alot which I was surprised by.

Anyone want to buy a buffer and compound ? (Joking)
