Cleaned and polished my wife's A2 at the weekend. It's finished in Cobalt Blue, which to all intents and puposes looks like a metallic black.
I thouroughly washed the car first, then cleaned the paintwork to remove tar spots and road film, etc.
Then using an orbital polisher (between 1-2 speed setting), applied Meguires paint cleaner. I then applied Meguires Scratch and Swirl Remover 2.0, followed by polish (stage 2 of 3) and finally carnuba wax (stage 3 of 3). The wax was removed by hand with a cotton microfibre cloth.
I used the indented foam pad to apply everything, apart from the solid foam pad for the carnuba wax.
The car does have a deep gloss, and I was pleased with the result, but in certain light conditions, there's almost a hazing effect. Any idea what's caused this? :1zhelp:
