It got a clay not long ago so did not need to do it again.

Mrs Mole dose not know how much I have spent, but has a idea, ( which she is far off )

Would take some pics tonight but not much point when its in the garage.

Hope the sun comes out tomorrow so I can get better pics .

Well Adrian how has the car come up, how did you get on with the g220?

The car has come up very nice and now Mrs Mole has gone out in it !!!!

Got on well with the G220, but there are still some swirl marks that I have not got out.

My camera has been left at one of Louise's ( Mini Mole ) freinds house.

So will try my phone for some pics, when Mrs Mole comes back.

Must admit I thought the bare hand method to apply the wax was better than using a foam applicator.

Adrian this can take some getting used to normally by the 3rd time you use it you can see what you were doing wrong on the 1st and 2nd attemps.
Did you work on small area's at a time.
I bet your been letting your local hand car wash clean your car before today.

Did you use the dark or yellow pad the dark one is better to remove the swires and you can move onto the yellow when you have the swirles removed.
Mr Mole
Ok here are some pics of the car.

They were taking with my phone so not the best
