Proper compouding is not something you would want to do every week. PC with a mild polish to restore gloss and sort out minor defects 'should' be fine for much more uses.

Nice one, enjoy the new motor. Your old 172 looked spot on.

Not really true, depends what kind of cut your using every time. With a mild pad and polish you could safely do it every week.

As above practice on some scrap panels first. In the right hands will produce great results, but lacks the safety of a random orbital machine such as the porter cable.

If your nails catch in the bumper ones chances are the deeper ones won't come out. Megauirs Scratch X will improve it, nothing but paint will fix the mirror.

Klasse AIO cuts through oxidisation like the above easier than anything else have a have tried.

AG SRP and EGP will work as well IMO. I use above topped with the Poorboys or the Swissvax offerings as they add to the looks over the EGP used alone and can be applied much quicker than redoing the EGP all the time. 5-10 mins or so to do the wheels using one or the other. I don't like the...

Working by hand it is the best option you really have.

Try a quick wipe over with some Quick Detailing spray and see if that cleans up the marks left behind.

It contains some wax/sealant and leaves a protective layer behind so would not use it unless you have been told it is fine to seal

Will be fine to polish it as long as it is a bodyshop safe sealant/wax free one. Worth asking who painted it as it may also be safe to seal straight away, if not may need to wait 30-60 days.

Close lol - only 90 in Silver

The Klasse has more of a chemical cut so does strip through oxidised paint quicker. You could try a more abbrassive polish, working by hand Meguiars Scratch X my bring it up better. May take a few applications.

Flat knife blade.

Autoglym Super Resin Polish or Klasse All In One should both do the trick.

On minor amounts of paint detailing clay should shift it. On a large amount of overspray a flat blade will be much quicker and effective.

Awesome pics as always.

Alloys sound like they will need a refurb. The Scratchs and bird crap etching may come out if working by hand with some elbow grease and Meguiars Scratch X. Chances are it will need a few applications on each of the defects to sort it. If some one local has a machine polisher it would speed up...

I love your face when you get all red and angry ;)

At least you can check it while doing the weekely oil and water checks at the same time.

Even on the road, the H&R's ride so much nicer than the stock set up which crashes over bumps. The coilovers damping is so much better.

Any colour critcial job always get a proof done.

What is he trying to achieve in doing that?

Same colour as the Cup packed 182 wheels AFAIK 205-110 Ixell paint

LOL Same reason as the Hamilton leads the F1 thread got moved yesterday, clearly the new mods are not to sure what the media forum is about.

I always use 7 by hand. The 7 or at least the P21s would need re-doing once a month.
