Just been playing outside with a few products

Now anyone who has seen my Corolla will know its a little battered, scratches, swirls, dull paintwork prob hasnt ever been polished so i thought id pay some attention and have a go at getting some shine back on the Boot

Not got any before shots as didnt think about it, but here is the process..

1. Rinse Boot/back end

2. Wash with Small ammount of Hot water and AG Bodywork Shampoo and Conditioner using Lambswool washmit

3. Rinse again

4. Dry using AG Shamois

5. Cover boot liberally in Poorboys Quick Detailer

6. Megs Clay Bar the entire boot (Removed loads of shit!)

7. Wash again using AG shampoo and dry with Chamois

8. Dry again using Microfibre towel

9. Apply 1st Coat of AG Super Resin Polish

10. Leave 3-5 mins and Buff off using clean AG Finishing Microfibre

11. Apply Second coat of AG SRP and repeat buffing

12. 3rd and Final coat of AG SRP, again buffed off.

13. Apply on a fresh polishing pad AG Extra Gloss protection

14. Leave 30mins and buff off to reveal wet look shine


The paint still aint great and has some deep scratches, and swirls but without a PC its gonna be difficult to get a real shine back, will prob need wet sanding most of it to be fair

Its missing a Layer of AG HD wax but that hasnt arived yet but may add to it when it comes (Hopefully tommorrow)

Anyways Finished Pics

Not bad for a shitter

You only done one panel or summet though? lol

Yea i have Jess!

I just did the boot lid to try out the method, id really like to borrow a PC to bring it up and try some correction techniques as the paintwork is shabby

And its ideal to try things on as it makes no odds to me what it looks like

Was impressed with the reflections though just wish i could have waxed it!

Why don't ya take a picture of the whole car then and ya should be able to see the difference from the other panels?

Think i'm off to JTF today to get some new cleaning stuff...or I could just got to Shiny
