If this process is followed properly, how long would you say the effect would last? Only because I don't know if I could be bothered spending a whole day doing it if it was only going to look gorgeous for a few days...
Absolutely fantastic write up by the way and everyone elses add-ons are really good too.

Keep washing weekly, and the gloss will last about 2-3 months.

To DIY, you need heaps of equipment and product. Not cheap. $150 for machine, $80 for pads from overseas and $20 on product. http://ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28089

Otherwise, you can try giving the SCW car wash place down at Broadway a call for prices.

A proper swirl removal, glaze and wax should be at least $100.

ur car must be swirl city, those guys have terrible car washing practices. You want a decent job do it urself via the two bucket method.

Can anyone tell me how to remove the old white wax/polish from my paint? I waxed the shit ages ago, by hand, and you can tell I got tired because on some minor corners there slight white lines. Evident cos my baby is black.

Will the Paint Cleaner get rid of it?
