    Hi i need help i am working on a black audi 80 with the most awfull black paint i might be buying the car so i want to try to get the paint up. Its bad evrywhere but mainly on the bonnet roof and boot lid. Iam a valater but i mostly do motorhomes and my simple machine polisher is only a single speed. I have tried to machine polish it today it looks better but is still not right, i applied g3 by hand then wet my applicator pad on my polisher and whent at it. so far its left more swirl marks in the spoiler, is there a method to machine polishing i need to know how to use it proper. And would wet flatting the car help and if so what do you use to bring the shine back up after a wet flat any ideas pls i will get pics tommorow

    Farecla G3, then G10 (both with a power mop if possible) followed by 3M Imperial Hand Glaze and then Zymol Carbon wax.

    Does colour magic actually work then? I tried some on a very small area of my bonnet to try to help some stone chips and I was not impressed, maybe I did something wrong?
