Got it back! Showroom Shine.
As per JKP's advise I bought an Intermediate Polishing Kit from Polished Bliss a while back but did not got around using it. Obviously before JKP offered his own detailing kit. The machines look very similar though.
It's a hell of a job to do it right, but the result is brilliant. All swirls and minor scratches have gone and it shines like it just roled out of a showroom. I used Mezerna 230S in combination with a light cutting pad to get rid of swirls and scratches and then sealed it with Sonax wax and a finishing pad.
Now it stays in the garage till spring because I don't want to get it dirty anymore.
So if there is any chance you get bored around Xmas THIS is how you should kill time CLUB ILLEGAL CAR WASHERS
