    Respray

    dents on bonnets can be a pain in the ass, a small dent can turn into a nightmare trying to feather it back and back and back. if you wanna give it a go then do it, worst case scenario, you need a new bonnet ;)

    Fresh paint

    tbh if its been baked, a couple hours is fine. ive been at garages where the valeters would polish and wax freshly painted panels and there was never any problems. paint takes ages and ages to cure "properly" but tbh you wont notice any difference between 2 days and 60 days imo

    buffer trails?

    if youre mopping with g3 and g10, make sure you wipe all the g3 off first before you start using the g10. g3 use with a bit of water. tbh i get trails of polish when i mop, simply because it would take too long to get the panel immaculate. i just whizz it over with the g10 a few times and then...

    Cutting rear bumper

    at work we use an airsaw which dont do any damage. but if you mask out the semi circle with tape you can dremmel it pretty easy too

    Cutting rear bumper

    dents!!!

    you dont "tap" dents out, if you tried youd end up with reversed dents and your car will look 10x worse. massage them out slowly massaging the right area of the dent. dont go hitting dents or you will seriously f**k them up
