Drivers wing before:
And after:
Bonnet looking lovely:
Hazed over due to poor finishing by the bodyshop it had previously been to:
As you can see, the fnish was impared and looking very dull and unhappy.
50/50 of the bonnet:
Bonnet complete:
Plenty of life and a more vibrant look finally.
Yet another 50/50 on the passenger door:
Polishing process was undertaken via milwaukie rotary, lake country 8” foamed wool pad and menzerna power finish to cut a number of swirls and scratches down marginally if not completely removed with one hit.
Refined using dodo juice lime prime on a 3M yellow polishing pad and worked to death to give as much depth as possible.
LSP was tricky as I was going down the collinite route but it was a nice warm day and I felt the car needed a nice carnauba warming glow.
Ive had rubbishboys OE for quite some time now and thought “why not?”
Great wax, first ever hard wax ive used, felt thick when applying but after curing the results were spectactular.
All trm ( what trim there was ) dressed with poorboys world trim restorer.
Tyres/arches dressed with AS highstyle.
Wheels sealed with smartwax rimwax.
Roof protected with supagaurd fabric gaurd.
Exhuast cleaned with meguiars NXT all metal polish.
And the final piccies for some drooling:
Thanks for looking.
