I posted this on http://www.finalinspection.com.au/forums/ but thought you guys might wana check it out also.

Well ill start with the finished product as you can see the Menzerna really brought out the brown in my E30, oh wait that’s dust never mind :D

My process was :

1.Wash at stupid self serve bay, drive 10mins home :(

2.Clay with blue clay magic (not sure if I really like this or not tends to fall apart abit when lots of lube is used)

3.Polish using Yellow edge (some parts) Green edge, Blue edge and White edge. With Menzerna FF on white and IP on others. Got to use the whole family of pads for once :D and don’t worry D I didn’t cheat on you, mum got me the other pads for Christmas when she was on a trip :)

4.Wash at home using bucket I dunno if this is legal but I have been having 1min showers since restrictions and they owe me. And as you can see its not like I have been washing the car everyday.

5. LSP anyone care to guess? Its either Zaino, Twins or P21S. Ill tell you after some guesses are submitted or if none are submitted ill tell you anyways :D

Well here are the final pics not sure if im 100% happy, certainly not the best black on the site but for a car made in 1984 with SS paint that has never seen a buffer its pretty good.

Looks like the interior could use a good detail as well ;)

Beautiful car though, do I win a prize for guessing right? :)
