good work and the MEGS 105/205 combination is all I ever use, have tried most other polishes but I do find that this works just great.

Great 50 50 shot there , it just shows you what you get used to over the years , and how much colour the process of correction brings back!  :happy2:

Thats with a d/a mate i find if used corrctly with the right polish and pad combo the results are just as good as rotary and less refining is needed. :)
