Polishing/waxing Mr2

[93mr2red]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to polish and wax in the grooves located on the rear deck lid?

Just take your time. It takes for ever mate :(

Folded over bits of polishing cloth and loads of patience mate...

or make the surrounding area so shiney and park it in bright sunlight people are too dazzled to notice!!!!

As above and maybe use a very fine/baby toothbrush to get the crud out.

i dont know if its just me, but it seems to take far longer to polish my mr2 than any other car ive ever had.

You think whites bad craig try black where you can see the wax dust and the circular motion in which you've waxed the car.

I can honestly say black is the hardet colour to keep clean :cacker:

Yeah black is the hardest to keep clean and all the scratches show up badly in the sunlight BUT it does look nice and shiny in the evening. My last 3 cars have all been black :P

You must be using polish I presume? I use Swissol which does not leave white residue unlike Autoglym and the likes and also if you get Swissols cleaner fluid it takes out all swirl marks and any contaminates without actually cutting the paint.

When you polish the wax on and off do you do the snooker move or the window cleaner move? as move a stops swirls and move be increases them.

Hope this helps.

Say you have a cue in your hand when you go to take a shot you move back and forth not circular thus a snooker move, this cutrs out the swirls.
