Getting too old for this s**t, dont think I'll pick up a machine polisher again.. however this one really pops after a polish, usual snowfoam and 2 bucket wash, then another wash with the farecla clay mitt, a quick once over on the machine with meguires ultimate, hand polish with auto finesse tripple, then 2 coats of collinite 845

I've had the Collinite unopened on the shelf for years so thought it a good opportunity to try it and its a bloody lovely wax to apply and remove.. very impressed.. ill get to the roof another day, its not too bad at the moment but id like to clean and coat it soon.. anyroad.. pics
