And I'm very happy with the results!! I used Zymol cleaner wax to do the job and the paint has come up a treat after being very dull.

A few months ago I polished it using T-Cut (The car had never been polished before! :sick: ) and at first I was happy with the results, it got rid of all the scrathes and swirls....but they soon came back, not impressed! So after using some proper wax today, it looks mint :dance:

Just to prove what the wax was doing, I took a couple of before pics after one appilcation...

well good job mate, i like focus's.

tyre shine makes all the difference i think always tyre shine when ive cleaned mine.

I also put about Zymol in another thread and said no-one ever mentions it now they have, its wicked stuff!

The finish Zymol gives is awesome, I've said on my Saxo forum that its ideal to use if you havent got the time/patience to do a megs three stage job.

The only down side with this Zymol product is the white powder residue that it gives (like autoglym). Its nothing major though, apart from that its flawless.

yeah it does leave alot of dust but it is wicked stuff. when i used i done half and half on the bonnet and you could see the deep shine of the bit u done, thats what u need from a polish!
