post up some pics man...

the important thing was to work your way up the sandpaper..... from 600grit to say 1800grit... then polish...

Worst case scenario, have a chat to sammi (missxfto) as she had hers profesionally done and they look brand new..

What grit sandpaper were you using and when you were polishing it did ya use the lambswool on a drill or did you do it with some old fashion elbow grese?

i followed all the instructions in the other thread... used a 1200grit sandpaper... and lambwool on the drill... only thing i didnt do properly was went fast straight away and got all polish everywhere !!! but did it again properly and slowly and thats it... all instructions were followed !!! any other assisstance ?

big W has it as well you kneed to start with a 400-600 sand papper first by the look of the lights and also sand in a sercula patten then move up to a 800-1000 papper and then 1200-1400 to finish and then a good buff with scratch X

if you want we can get a DIY day planed as I know there are a number of ppl in syd that need it done, thats if you are in syd area that is

I didn't know Kitten made similar product like scratch X. It looks like you use normal cut and polish and from the scratch mark, you didn't seems use a drill either.
