After my attempts on my own car, my work was admired by one of my neighbours relatives. Weather was on and off all day but still managed it in the end, now its chucking it down, but the water beads are amazing!
Products used:
Farecla G3 Scratch Remover (in places)
Farecla G3 Paint Rejuvination
Chemical Guys Gloss
Meguiars Carnauba Wax
Turtle Wax tyre shine
Masking tape and newspaper (newspaper for the roof)
Before:
Haze shows up better here
After:
The bottom right of the picture shows the true state of the paintwork, higher up on the right is just the splash of the product.
(The bonnet, needed more attention in 4 sections, but I got there in the end, maybe there's a better product I can use?)
The bonnet, Excuse the white bits, that's due to lack of buffing (lazyness) I went over the car with a finishing pade
There's a horrible plastic thing that's ruining the car on the back, I have advised the owner to colour code.

What did you struggle with on the bonnet for it to take 4 attempts mate? If it was deeper defects, this can sometimes be the way things go, or if it was just to get the level of correction / swirl removal you desired, this is where having a wider range of products and equipment really helps.
If you have any car care related questions, ask me in the Cleaning/Detailing section.
Sorry that's worded pretty shockingly! I was doing it in sections, so I halved the bonnet, and split it into 3rds. After I thought I was done, there were 4 sections that needed more attention.Originally Posted by Debo
Gave them the attention they needed and the difference is shocking!
