|  Washed and waxed Fabia but not perfect!! After a session 6 weeks ago consisting of - Wash using Zymol Autowash Clay bar Meguiars Zymol HD Cleanse Zymol Vintage wax I was very pleased with the results but unfortunately it wasn't sunny. When the sun came out I noticed very minor swirls. I decided to try 3M Imperial Hand Glaze until I decide to get a PC. Sunday I did the following - Wash using Zymol Autowash 3M Imperial Hand Glaze x2 coats Zymol Vintage wax The sun was out today so decided to take some better pics. Unfortunately after 4 hours hard graft I was unable to remove the swirls by hand. I wish I had a Brinkmans Xenon light when I started! PC is now on order so I hope to sort the swirls out soon.      The swirls close up!

| Re: Washed and waxed Fabia but not perfect!! I have Zymol Microfibre cloths and also Zymol towels. I think the swirls have always been there since new but probably made worse from washing the car and not waxing during winter! I'm on detailing world which is where I got the info to get a Porter Cable 7424. PS I still need to catch up with you Graham re. Milltek.
