My own fault being greedy at the start, turned down some good offers, and lots of older gents who don’t think they’d get on with the weight of the clutch
Sometimes you can't help but look at your car once you have washed it! Post your pics..

Decided to practice with my buffer and gave my old run about a buff with meguiars 105/205 then followed up with soft99 fusso coat and then a layer of soft99 king of gloss
Really impressed with the gloss and reflection. The beading and water behaviour is comical now

I found the Chemical Guys videos were very helpful.

You should give one of the Polished and Waxed beginner days ago like @Woodcutter ran. Very informative and you can practice and they will give you pointers.

I've had my das6 for about 3years and only just used it there doing the bora.
It's far from a perfect finish but it's a handy car to practice on. Used chemical guys hexlogic pads but going to try these meguiars mocrofiber ones I bought next time round.
Unfortunatly the polish I used has stuck in the larger scrapes and stone chips and shows them up really bad. I did do a wipe down with car pro eraser in between stages .
Anyone got any tips on what to do next time?
It done a good job on the swirls and holograms tho
