Cleaned my bosses car (S2000), well, helped



  MG ZS180 Mk2
My bosses Honda S2000 was looking a little worse for wear. 8 years old, 90000 miles and had been cleaned with a sponge most of its life.
The swirl marks annoyed him so he got a Meg G220 polisher and we decided this weekend to get it sorted.

Washed it first, dried and then practiced on a door I borrowed (from my Mums old Ford Anglia).
Started off with Megs #83, then used Megs #80 then finished with Megs Gold Class Wax.

Neither of us had ever used one of these polishers before or even seen them used, just read a few posts about using them.

Anyway, 6 hours later we had finished and the results were amazing. The car is at least 95% swirl free now, a couple of patches need a bit more cutting but overall, we were very impressed with how it looked and how easy it was to get a good finish.

We didn't clean the wheels or the hood, we just wanted to get the paintwork sorted out this time.

I didn't do the polishing, just made the tea, helped wash and done the buffing.

Defo worth the money though, car has got to be worth a few quid more now.

Well you can believe me when I say its easy to get an excellent finish. I imagine with more practice you could get an immaculate finish but we were happy with this.

Get down the scrapyard and get an old door or something to practice on.
Note - no paint depth meter, no tape and no millions of pads/polishes. Just £170ish quid all in and job done.

We were scared (him more than me, it was his car after all) but a quick go on a practice door put his mind at rest.

I didn't mind, he's a good mate, we have a laugh in and out of work.

At the risk of sounding sad, seeing the the end result was very rewarding. Shame it wasn't mine, that was parked out on the road, dirty.
