civicturbo79 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Those pads a designed for sanding blowins you will flat through with them on the standard paint mate , all you need to do is g3 the car with a mod and use loads of water that way it makes it alot harder to burn through . g3 will easily remove over spray and dirt no need to flat it . them mechine polish the car again with the mod and them a nice wax to finish.

noodels Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 good idea what the cost of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyekye09 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 For the full body mop then detail polish/buff and then wax comes to the grand total of £130 which i thought was really gpod for the amount of work involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
