Great job Boothy :congrats:

Was following your earlier thread about the DA machine, i'm having the same difficulties as you seem to have now put to bed.

Gives me inspiration to push on and keep at it :drinking:

Only viewing on piephone but that's a great improvement. 203S is a great polish and IMO it's worth hitting the paintwork with 203S multiple times rather than going crazy and using the really aggressive stuff like FG500.

What made you choose Prima Amigo? I would like to have seenthe effects after red moose machine glaze.
Vic concours is a wax I'd love to try but recently bought some P21S/R222.

So when are you going to wetsand the car?  :grin:

After initially not being very successful at removing the defects I began thinking about other methods to try and reduce them which is where filling them came into it. I had already tried using SRP to fill them but didn't get much success really and then I remembered reading something about the Prima Amigo on DW. Looking further into it it didn't appear to have a bad word written about it so thought sod it and popped into the Cleanyourcar warehouse and picked up a bottle.
 I have heard the Red Moose mentioned quite a bit but the Prima appealed more to me really after reading the reports etc. Sounded like the thing I was looking for I suppose.
 Its brilliant stuff and it smells phenomenal! I could almost put it in my coffee  :rolleye:!

The Vics is spot on too although after machining I seem to have had some real issues with removing it properly as it was leaving holgrammes galore. I just couldn't seem to get it on thinly enough and even by hand i seem to be struggling to remove it for some reason? Looked at purchasing the R222 a while back as its reasonably priced but the P21S is a bit rich in the current financial climate  :laugh:.
 And to be honest, I keep going back to my Colinite 845 time and time again. If the preps right then the Coli is fine and its water characteristics and longevity blow me away everytime.

Wet sanding just sounds too harsh to even contemplate but learning it would be good for removing the various RDS still doted about the car.
