I took the opportunity to polish my daily driver, Mazda 6.

Worst scratch was on drivers door, about 10 inches long:

and gone:

Also polished the rear lenses, which removed most of the scratches:

And finally a shot of both the cars in their spotless glory!

A great way to spend a sunny Sunday!

Well I didn't get around to cutting my grass which is now 2 foot high in places due to fact it's been raining at every other opportunity I've had to cut it over the last month or so :facepalm: ... Hopefully I'll me able to find 3 hours tomorrow :roll:

I have a Kestrel DAS-6 Pro machine polisher, and use 3M pads and polish. Started on Friday night and did a couple hours, then finished the rest of the car today, probably spent around 8 hours total to polish and wax, but it is an estate so has extra paint!!

I also took advice of LLL and applied the wax by hand........and it was good!! really good application, although the neighbours must've thought I'd reached a new level of love for my cars!! :shock:

Spent my Saturday taking the puppy to the park to meet some other dogs. Was the first time he ever rode in the Prelude 8-) It would seem I have finally found a use for those tiny back seats, until he bundled through the middle of the front seats so he could sit up front :lol: then Sunday was spent moving my fish tank to the new house, absolute nightmare as the thing is five feet long, weighs a ton and has 100-200 fish in it. Started at about 9am and was done by about 10pm :evil: I have all week off work though so at least I can enjoy the sun now :D
