Nice one Paul!! Do you have any before/after on the bonnet? Or did I miss them!

 

[Ali]

TBH pauls paint was pretty good to start with, i had a good look at it! So it's more of an enhancement than a correction.

When you planning on doing the other half?

starting it tomorrow when i get up weather depending.:dapprove: Boot , roof , rear bumper and 2 back quarter panels to get done tomorrow. Chipsaway are coming to fix my dent before i start though

 

[Tigger]

Good clean-up there Paul

 

[gregor182]

good effort , i wish i had the time to get mine as clean as that

post pics when its finished

 

[Paul.]

Finally got the rest of the car PC'd today. Started at 10am and im just finished. Re-done the bonnet with a cutting pad and used a polishing pad to finish. (Lake country pads) This time round i decided to use the 3.5mm pads rather than the 6m pads. It worked better because i had a smaller area to work on so each are was perfected before moving on.

Might sound silly and might have been a waste of time but after machine polishing , i gave it some srp then egp and sealed it all in with DDjuice orange crush again. It may not be a ''great'' wax but it brings out the paint brilliantly.

Not as many pics this time as i just wanted to push on with the weather being good today(first good day to do since i started the thread)

Anyway heres a couple of how it finished looking 10mins ago. Its under cover now till i leave for Birchdown on thursday night.:approve:

Cheers

Then the sun hit the paint

 

[BioHzrd]

[Paul.]

[VeinAST]

Factory fresh

 

[alex-avfc]

Looks awesome..

Still think SRP EGP gives a good finish! Even better over corrected paint

yea i cant fault it tbh. Been using it for a while now and the srp,egp combo alone gives amazing results nevermind a wax on top of it. The shine comes from the polishing though.

 

[clio_greg]

looks fuckin lovely mate !

 

[Gally]

Yeah srp was a bit of a waste paul but loads fab mate.
Pics of sister? Better than gaz asking about your mrs again!
