First attempt with a DA polisher

[bearded_ed]

My DA is meant to arrive in the next few days!! However picked up a set of foam pads.... Hoping they will be enough!

My plan is to use the Meguiars Ultimate Compound and see how that goes. Also have their matching polish or my usual AG Super Resin.

Good luck! I am sure you will be pleased with your efforts. Look forward to seeing the photographs.

Thank you!! Looking forward to the learning experience, had time for all sorts of jobs on the car these last few weeks!

How long did the effect last? I recently did my car's first clay -> polish -> wax and it lasted about a week. I've got some compound so I'll do that soon then polish and wax again. Then I'll consider whether to get it machined or not.

I finished mine off with a couple of coats of Wolfgang Paint Sealant which is easy to apply and remove. You can find it on EBay. The shine has stayed so far and the car still looks good. However, it is garaged and doesn’t get used in the way a ‘daily’ would. So it doesn’t stand outside all day in all weathers.

As someone that does it every day you’ve done a great job there.

Thanks for that. I really enjoyed doing it.
