Loving the strategic "maxpower" style turning of the wheel for the last two pictures. Other than that looks good! maybe give it a wax though.

Good effort. Brave man. Try some Poorboys Blackhole glaze and then wax.

Whoops, sorry. The BH has fillers in it and is designed for dark colours and gives a great finish filling fine scratches and swirls but won't last so protect it with a wax.
Nothing wrong with AG products but there are products better suited to some jobs.

I just find autoglym leaves white marks on plastic trim and when it gets wet. Mer is a bit harder work but you can put it one when the cars damp. Ive found the shine lasts longer aswell. I still use autoglym for everything else tho. http://www.merproduc...e-shine-polish/
