Hey all,

First off I've done a bit of detailing over the past few years and there's nothing I enjoy more than getting compliments on how well my cars have looked. I mostly hand detailed before until my dad picked up a mothers wax attack. I used it a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed the ease of machine buffing but noticed much sooner than later this product really didn't cut the grade for what I needed it to do. I invested in a Concours 900 DA buffer from Waxit (with Lake Country and Menzerna compounds to suit) and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thought I'd just post up some results for all those people that like to check out photos.

Keep in mind, I got this side fender from a panel beaters and as well as a big ding in it, it had flaking paint etc... so the test spot is a little askew haha.

As you can see it's in pretty poor condition. Swirls and scratches clearly evident.

This was after I washed and clay barred the right side.

A couple of passes using Orange lake country pad and Menzerna Power Finish.

There's a picture missing between the last photo and the next one but the step involved Grey Lake country pad with Menzerna Final Finish.

Swirls and Scratches seem to have been removed fairly good.

Reflective finish is always rewarding :thumbsup:.

I could have spent a lot more time and there's a few steps I missed out on (like waxing) just because I didn't want to waste too much on a crummy pos fender (it was a off a ford anyway) :rolleyes:.

going to give the missus car a crack in the next few days hasnt been done for 5 years and looking shabby...

I was told by a panel beater to lightly spray water on as you buff to stop it drying out, saves you using so much product..

Yeah it's definitely a good kit. I spent close to 24 (broken hours) detailing my car before I left over seas. Got some pretty good results although next time, I wish to have in my possession a paint depth indicator. Detailed my car with a concours white pad and Menzernas Power finish PF2500. I got most swirls, light scratches and holograms out however, there was still a few that remained but personally could be buffed out with a different compound/pad combination. Anyway, car looks mint ;)
