Oh yes! much better! My friend asked me to do his car he was so impressed at the difference :P

A few weekends ago a mate and I did this to his Liberty.
When I find a spare moment I'll be giving the SP20 a go too! Makes a big difference!

Thats a HUGE difference! Looks good

Clean_Cookie · 11-07-2011, 03:37 PM

What product? My 30x clear indicators look terrible now...

morganluke · 11-07-2011, 05:44 PM

A few different products to get the best result.
DIY can be found here

Wet and Dry + Scratch X + Plast X + buffer cloth = winning

I found cutting compound does the trick. Or some very very very fine wet and dry. Don't go at it with 400grit...

Ben · 11-07-2011, 06:18 PM

Wow thats a huge difference Morganluke! Mine weren't that bad. I just hit mine with some series scrubbing with polish! Worked well!

Ben · 11-07-2011, 06:30 PM

Thought this was amusing! Came out of the shops today to find 3 Mazda 323's in a row! Mines obviously the black one in the middle...

Also did some polishing today... I think it's good enough :P

Ben · 12-07-2011, 02:46 PM

Video of my exhaust, i have no idea what it is, but it's pretty loud...
