My MCS....After a quick clean

Hello!

Just thought i'd post a few photos of my black MCS after it had a quick clean on Sunday.

It was only a quick clean which involved Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and a Sheepskin Wash Mitt, AutoGlym Custom Wheel Cleaner and some Scratch-X on a few light scratches I noticed.

I've SRP'd it once since I purchased it (just over a month ago) and as a result, will leave it until another two months to fully do again.

Payday is Thursday so I will be investing in some Natty's Blue, and a good quality drying towel.

Enjoy the pics.
Any other advice would be appreciated!

Cheers.

I've used Scratch-X about 3 times now and it's definately made the scratches lighter. I've heard that as it's less abrasive than say T-Cut, it needs to be done a few times to make the scratch disappear.

try using some ClearKote Red Mouse Machine Glaze before the Nattys blue to give extra depth
