          process?

          did you do this at night?

          it sometimes better to do the work at night with light colours b/c you'll be able to notice more?

            started of with the clay, then used M80, didn't work so slowly worked our way thru harsher cutting compound. ended up using a wool pad and heavy duty cutting compound, (not Meg as M85 still couldn't shift the stains).

            after the wool pad, went onto M85 with W7000 pads to remove the wool marks. then onto cyclo buffer using M83, M80, and 2 coats of nxt wax.

            to remove the water stains on the windows I used A1 water spot remover, (this is produced here in NZ). We had to get this from the local glass supplier as the bore water stains were so bad.

            It took 15hrs from start to finish. The customer has agreed to never use bore water again. The one good thing is the car did coming up so good and we also sold the customer the necessary Meguiars products to keep it looking this good.

                    I am pretty sure it is a Ford Escort, a UK version though...

                              And yes its good to see another Holden fan
                              This Ford was a customer of mine a very nice car but its not a Holden
                              But must say the new BA falcon are very nice (oops gosh wash my mouth out )
                              The Holden's are like the All Blacks right on top as it will be when we win the world cup
