Hi all, well I couldnt find a detailer north of adelaide to give my car a good going over, 1 lousy attempt at a detailing company with crappy results!

So, I decided to give it a go myself, hopefully its worth all the effort a couple of before and afters

pinncale xmt polish with carnuba
souveran wax
Bosch 400pex Sander with various pads ( all purchased from waxit )
and an hell of a lot of Meguires Microfiber towels
