    slow and steady, had a corsa b 1.2 with pearly white paint, was sexy, but it was a pig to polish, just had to take my time and used autoglym super high resin polish. Used to get it free as they sponsored us at RML :P

    Best way to do it, work a pannel till finished, then start the next. All waxs tell you to do a pannel at a timeanyway.

    you will noticed when you apply polish the shiney of the paint has gone due to the coverage of polish,do the panel check for any shiney sections go over them,move onto next panel,go buff of the first seeeeeeempillllsss
