Detailed/valet/Cleaned (or any other terms used) Coupekings 320 today

 

Started at 9am and finished at 7pm

Recently out the bodyshop it had plenty swirls and marks from there work,so it was out with the Menerna IP and Porter Cable polisher.

That did the trick

Finished with a coat Zymol Concours wax

Forgot to take camera so never got any during pics

The final shots were with a crap camera phone

All ready for May 4th

One Happy Owner

Stunning!!

I've often thought about getting a portable polisher... but scared I end up putting more swirls into the paintwork...

Which one to do you recommend?

Like I've said before, with Polished Bliss having a 6 months backlog, there's obviously the demand.  Personally I'd get bored otheriwse I'd do it myself.
