My car has really bad scratches - particularly on the bonnet - from a rubber "claybar" wheel which was used on it about a year ago. They were made worse by me as I took it to a carwash a couple of times where I used the brush as the paint was already damaged (and I'm lazy / time poor). I recently bought the Das 6 Pro kit with Menzerna polishes which I've never used, but received advice from a pro detailer that I probably wouldn't get the scratches out with this kit.
So I decided to visit Waxit today at Tullamarine to get some of this stuff as I had a day off. I got the 6" spider pad, Scholl S20 black and some special cleaning and drying towels @ $130.
I decided to do a test on the driver's side corner of the bonnet, about 60cm x 60cm. Being the impatient type, and as it was getting dark around 5pm and I have no decent lighting in the garage, I didn't have time to wash the car first so did a quick wipe with instant detailer and a quick claybar, followed by a dry then 2 x 3 minute passes with the S20 and new pad.
Gotta say the results are pretty good. PS. I've never polished a car before so I expect it to get better as I learn.
