    We had a bit of meet at the weekend at a friends unit. Lots of things to play with and a few cars to work on. Good day had by all.

    Hyper Global Mega Corp Inc Ltd setup ready for action. :)

    We had an Astra VXR to start with. It's a regular car that Dave @ Authoshine gets to work on and it was due a Zaino top up.

    Next one and the one that was here so that everyone could have ago with a polisher of some sort. Alfa Romeo 147, it had a few swirls and body shop induced buffer trails to get out.

    I think just about everyone did have a go at polishing. We had just about every polisher there, Kestrel, Makita, Flex. And loads of different polishes on the go.

    It got waxed with a coat of Original Edition, applied by the owner who got stuck in too. He hadn't detailed before, I gave him the pot of OE and an applicator gave him some very brief instructions, scuff the wax, applicator in, give it twist, do a panel, nice and thin. And he did a marvelous job.

    And we also had a VW Golf that need a quick freshen up. Mark V Glisten mixed (80%) with a drop of Mark V IP200 (20%) buffed with the rotary using an RB soft finishing pad.

    And then topped with Supernatural V1.

    It was a good day, I think everyone enjoyed themselves and it was a great location for a meet.

    Looks like a good time, I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I lived in the UK...hmmm...maybe the missus wouldn't like it, as I would probably never be home :giggle:

    Thanks for the comments everyone. It was a good, fun day. Everyone tried something new, I think we even converted the owner of the Alfa to the joys of wax and detailing. :)
