Definitely a lot of gloss added! Just one thing... one pic, and it might not be representative , but try and keep the pad flat to the panel.

From the pics, theres a fair improvement. Guessing both you and your mate are fairly happy with the results.

Try the mildest combinations first on the twingo... If if your happy with the results from the mildest combination. stick to it. If not, move up a grade.
1. Menzerna Final Finish (PO85RD) and yellow finishing pad.
2. Menzerna Final Finish (PO85RD) and orange polishing pad

3a.Menzerna Intensive Polish (P085RD 3.02) and orange polishing pad, to hit deep swirls or use on harder paints
3b. followed by Menzerna Final Finish (PO85RD) and yellow finishing pad to refine the gloss


Enjoy the results

Looks impressive Karl

I've always wanted to invest in a mop, but just a bit too scared in taking one to me car :?

How 'easy' are these things to use, was this your first go proper, or you practiced on scrap panels etc?
