De Swirling The Lupo..

Though id try my hand at removing the swirls from 'Ted' although the car looks perfect most of the time, in direct bright sunlight and under lamps the swirls are obvious!

Once in the garage i couldn't see the swirls under the garage lighting so have a 1500watt lamp on a stand to exaggerate them a little.

Tools :

1 x UDM Polisher
1 x Bottle Menzerna RD3.02
1 x Lake County Orange Pad
2 x 1500watt lamps.

Here are some photos from the test effort to see if it was going to be effective, please bear in mind this is without wax and still has dust everywhere, as im now going to have a go at doing the car properly:

What i was working with :

After around 2 passes:

After 5 passes:
