well after a recent clay barring, i found a few of these buggers..
i used the megs clay kit, it good value.



so got the Megs G220 out, used sonus SFX pads & Menzerna polishes.



that soon shifted them Very Happy





comes up well for a 10 year old car..









then i moved on and used the following..
DoDo juice lime prime lite, finish kare sealant, DoDo juice blue velvet wax
and loads of micro-fibre cloths.











took couple of days to do, but well worth it Very Happy

if its looked after.. washed properly, 2 bucket method and no sponges. regular waxing, it should last well over 12 months Smile
i did mine about 14 months ago, but our bad winter has taken its toll on it.
all lower panels had swirls on.
