Default Just finished

Been out all day claying Kim and restoring her headlights.
I used 3m like I did with Mo, but the final disc was breaking up so I used 2000 grit wet and dry instead. Still had a bit of polishing compound left in the sachet which turned out to be just enough.
I then used Meguiars protectant, but just as with Mo's headlights, Kims still looked like there was a fine grey film on them.
And then I discovered a secret weapon. . . Auto Glym rubber and vinyl care. That turned out to be spot on
