Clio Wings

[al]

I was just wondering........if you are going to PC the wings on a Clio how could you determine the paint thickness being as the wings are plastic.

yuuum french plastic wings i wouldnt have thought u need to worry about that mate, just aslong as you havnt polished the hell out of it previously and you go steady with the pc i cant see a problem but ask rich

Lol, haven't got a PC was just wondering as i'm having it done by Steve off DW in a couple of weeks, would be interesting to see Rich's take on it tho.

Steve has a paint thickness guage anyway mate so dont worry and he is awesome ,you will be well impressed

Paint thickness gauge does not work on plastic panels.

I just go steadier on them with 4 inch pads. Steve is top notch and will now how muck clearcoat he is removing with a said product.

You should have nothing to worry about with a swirl remover and a mild polish to follow it up. As long as your only doing this once a year max, and not every week I dont think you should worry.

Your a lucky chap if L200 Steve is doing your car!

You can get ultra sonic guages that work on plastics but tbh whne using a pc and not a rotary you will struggle to remove too much paint anyway
