Spent some time today machine polishing the car with Chemical Guys V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish, highly recommended product, did a great job at removing some light swirls and left a very high shine. The machine polisher gives far better results and alot less labour intensive. Finished off with some g-techniq C2 liquid crystal as recommended by @Stuno1

@emjay82 stupid question time but can you use the products in sunshine, or is better in shade, like ordinary polish ?

I wouldn't use these in the heat of the day, I waited until 6.30pm when it was much cooler. Probably wouldn't be the end of the world if you did but might need more buffing afterwards.

Better be careful @Mark G, will be down to the primer soon, or have you always wanted a white ISF 😁 😁. If you're looking to speed up the process I hear wire wool gives and excellent shine 😉

Rusty Crobar, would you mind me asking what spec/size of wheel & tyre combo you're running there? Looks the business! Many thanks.

@Pecker thanks! They are half an inch bigger than standard all round and I think they're et40 all round too. Tyres are standard size, slightly stretched. I also have 3mm spacers fitted as the rear calipers were catching the spokes. The rears rub a bit on lowered suspension but I like the way it looks 😁

Thanks for that. I have spacers fitted also to give a bit more 'stance' [if I can use such a term], but just running the standard rims & tyre size. Thinking about changing these for some Bola rims or similar, if I can fetch sensible money for mine! What make are yours? Cheers. :cool:

Japanese racing jr21. They cost about a grand and seem to weigh about the same as the standard wheels.
