I haven't got loads of pics of this detail, but the ones I have show the difference pretty well I think.
The process:
1. Car rinsed down with the hose, then washed with Meguires NXT shampoo
2. Clayed with Meguires clay bar and lubricated with a watered down Optimum Spray Wax
3. PC'd with Poorboys SSR2.5 on a Sonus SFX1 Pad. The residue buffed off with a Poorboys Deluxe Mega Towel.
4. PC'd with Poorboys SSR1 on a Sonus SFX2 Pad. The residue buffed off with a Poorboys Deluxe Mega Towel.
5. 2 x passes of the PC with poorboys Polish on a Sonus SFX3 Pad and buffed off with a Cobra Super Plush Deluxe Microfibre Cloth.
6. Poorboys EX-P sealant buffed off with a Cobra Super Plush Deluxe Microfibre Cloth.
7. Poorboys Nattys Paste Wax buffed off with a Cobra Super Plush Deluxe Microfibre Cloth.
The Wheels were then waxed and treated to some Mercedes tyre paint.
Before:
As you can see there are a fair few swirls and scratches in the paint.

My ugly mug in the front wing. Scratches? What scratches?
