Looks good you wanna do mine I've had a dual action polisher for a while now and have tried many cutters and loads of different polishes but struggling to get a prefect finish, I have been speaking to a guy at clean your car as his unit is about 4 down from mine and he game me some Meg's 105 cutting compound and said anything any less won't touch Audi paint so I'm going to try that next week to try get rid of a few light blemishes and a few swirls, with it being black they stand out like a sore thumb. I did post a thread but nobody replied lol

Did mine today pleased with the outcome,

Started off by washing with fairy liquid to remove all the old polish, then clay barred,
Meg's 105 to remove any swirls
Meg's 205 polish
Meg's wax
Turtle gel tyre gel
I did the 105 cutting after clay bar with honeycomb pad then again with a microfiber pad so twice over, and polished once with soft honeycomb pad then finished with the Meg's wax and I've got to say I'm impressed

Sorry mate I never actually seen your post with your detailing snaps, I wasn't being rude not commenting back.

Really good work, looks the part!

Haha don't worry about it, it's nearly ready for doing again this road salt doesn't half take its toll.

Oh I know, the roads are really dirty! I gave mine another good going over last weekend, love seeing beading with the rain!

Is it best to use the 105 first then 205?

 

[SI-W85]

Yeah give it a good going over with the 105 I went over it twice but in total prob had around 10 passes with the DA its good stuff worked wonders on my black car will use it prob every other polish if not every one.
