Now its clean I can see plenty of imperfections......needs a mop.

Looks good

Once the engine is clean, its a lot easier to keep it clean

DAS6 polisher

The Sonus or Menzerna kits are well worth the investment:nod:

Car would come up lovely with either of the kits:doubleup:

Starting to look the part already though:worthy:

I'll be giving the 190 an engine in the next few weeks, so i will post pics

Totally agree mate, doing it by hand does look stunning but its a totally different finish with a machine :-)

Have you picked a tyre dressing yet? i use these

I dont really use the sprays because you allways get abit of overspray on the wheels and it acts like silicon spray attracting brakeduust and dirt. Plus the applictor pad gets in the groove between the wheel and the tyre and the gel smells REALLY good lol

Andy, try using the endurance.. small ammount in a paint lid (or similar) and use a small paint brush:five:

Best i've found so far:ok:

As it happens just ordered this lot.....

Couldnt make my mind up on a mop but I'll have another look at the 2 you recommended :thanx:

I did used to do that but after a while every paint brush i used kept on loosing its birssels on the wheels, not sure why, i didnt press hard at or agressivly at all, ive also tried the applicator pads but these were abit big for tyres, the sponge applicator is the best ive found so far but im allways on the look out for new techniques and tips ;-)

old93ra, good list of products youve ordered there mate, and so it begins lol up to you what machine you want to go for but youve got the chemical guys all in one so if you want to keep costs down abit just get a machine and a pad and get used to it with the all in one before you get any cutting polishes.

I still stand by the g220, havent had any major problems with it and has been good for 30 cars and still going :-)

The das-6 is a good machine too, basically the same as the megs but i havent personally used it so dont know what its like to work with

If you want to go down the kit route, when i started out i got the g220 with the sonus kit, the polish was abit dusty even in the cold but the pads were excellent :-) What ever kit you choose mate im sure youll be adding to it lol
