Boost Bus correction.

[gex23]

More a progress thread on the R26 paintwork correction.

I'm taking this panel by panel due to A) Time constraints and B) Being slow.

So, I started with the bonnet - rinshed, washed, rinsed, Iron X, Tardis and CYC fine clay (with LT as lube).


Not much contamination left :

Followed by a rinse off, dry and to inspect the condition of the paintwork...


Swirls and RDS evident :

I tried a few combinations, but settled on :


CG Hexalogic green pad with Menz PF2500


Refined with CG Hex white pad + Menz SF4500


Paintwork cleansed with CG Hex black pad + Poorboys blackhole.


LSP is 1 coat of Raceglaze 55 wax.


I figure I achieved about 80 - 85% correction, but the paint was a little tricky to fathom, harder than I thought!


These are the finished results :

Did you only iron x and tardis the bonnet? If you did, when you do the rest of the car im sure ironx/tardis will go on when rinsingand remove some of your lsp. Otherwise good work!

Nice work!
Think I'm going to have to do mine a panel at a time. Trouble is I drive it daily.

Good work.

It's a nice way to do it, panel at a time. I find I don't end up rushing parts.
