Haverhill's Cleanest Omega?
« on: 15 March 2010, 20:02:20 »
I saw don paul's Omega after he polished it last week and was very impressed;

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1268159882

enough so that I knew my mig needed a super detail to retain the "cleanest mig in Haverhill" honour ;D

Clayed and then polished with AG SRP and finished with two coats of AG HD wax from Halfrauds £40!

Wheels waxed with HD as well!

Any other Suffolk Migs out there?

The bonnet


I love this one! :)


My neighbours filthy MG in the reflection


A few scratchs left, but much better than before


Yours truly


The finished product

Thanks. The finish is all in the preperation, you got to clay really well, wash, polish with SRP (or similar), wash again and when the paint is spotless and smooth as silk you protect with a few layers of wax. It rained a few hours after I finished and when the rain died off I took a look at the beading from the AG HD, brilliant stuff, the water just rolls off the paint 8-)

Think I'll have to try this clay business. Seems to create a great base for the polish. This looks fantastic. :y

Something like this?

That's what I used to get the good base before polishing with AG super resin polish. I finished with two coats of AG High Def wax and I'm using a little turtlewax ICE liquid polish and Megs quick detailing spray to keep the wet look :D
