Do it by hand. You get good results by using elbow grease :D

It is product specific and they are naturally plugging their own product but they also have a respected name in getting a shine happening.

I have found that foam pads work better on a new paint job, the woolen ones work heaps better on paintwork that needs allot of work.


Make sence?

u use an open weave cloth, make sure its soft and clean, use plenty of elbow grease and olish, and it should come up a treat! dont use the polishing cloths you can buy at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, they're crap
