The Bumble Beams got some love. - Kevpr - 28-03-2019
Had my first crack at machine polishing the Altezza for the Banzai meet the other day. I'm pretty chuffed with the results. :thumbup1:
The car then got a layer of dodo juice supernatural wax.
What do you think?

Thanks for the kind words.
Centre caps are currently being painted. I keep meaning to do the rear calipers but never get round to it.
Yeah, was a great day, definitely worth the 5 minute drive!
The car was first washed with dodo juice born to be mild shampoo.
Next it was clayed with meguiars clay,
then I used a cutting pad and 3M finesse it and worked it over each panel, gradually increasing the speed and reducing the pressure. I spent about 5 minutes on each panel. A bit more on the bonnet though.
The residue was then buffed off with a microfibre and a generous layer of supernatural wax was applied.

Thanks everyone.

I did indeed, it's off of my old honda accord but it's the same thread. It's slightly wider at the base than my one. You're welcome to it if you want it.
I'm not sure what the machine is. It's my dads, I 'borrowed' it. Just says "best Polisher" on it.:confused:
