Amazing work.. Congrats on the final outcome.

I had a question for you.
Today my brother bought some turtle wax compound paste. ( pink coloured ). I used it on my side doors and corners and had excellent results, eventually i went ahead and did it on the entire bonnet. However since the bonnet is pretty big area, due to unequal pressure, I did not do a good job. Although the car looks absolutely white now rather than fainted white or off white and bonnet looks nice and very clean, it looks a bit dull and lacks a bit of shine now.. Would it be all right if I buy Meguiar's Ultimate polish and use it??
that is the best thing to do at this point.

Dunno if this is the right place for this. But looking to get new tyres for my 2010 Honda Civic Reborn. Going to stay away from Eurostar. Looking to get Bridgestone. What do you people suggest? Approximate pricing?
