Yep agree with the black hole suggestion, and also to save your arm some rubbing you don't need to use both Dodo LP and Dodo LPL together. LP is the one with the cutting particles in and LPL is the one without. You can correct the paint via machine and LP and then go straight to wax .

As Unclefester has said your wash technique is everything, foam a couple of times before you even touch it will help considerably with keeping theworst of the swirling at bay.

Get over onto DetailingWorld for advise etc...

Looking Good......

Some Autosol on those tails would finish it off, nicely.


Really helps to give the back end a 'finished' look.

Good effort with the cleaning...Unclefester will always provide good advice when it comes to detailing, as will Tango
