Megane R26
Copy and Pasted from DW...
Today's mission was to breath a bit of life into this 2001 Octavia vRS. The car is owned by DW's very own Bandit Barron, who I've got to know quite well over the years from selling him a few bits and pieces.
Plan for today was for Dave to clean the car, cook the bacon, keep the drinks coming and in return I work my rotary magic on his swirlage!
Now, I've seen some pretty swirly cars in the past year or two, but...
VEEEERY swirly! :doublesho
I tried LOTS of combinations, but finally settled on Megs #105 with a Sonus SFX1 pad, and Megs #80 on a Sonus SFX3 pad. For some reason I was struggling a little with Megs #205, as it wouldn't finish down properly on some panels, so opted for #80, which isn't something I'd used much previously, but it's great stuff!
A few 50\50's:
I didn't get many 50/50's due to the amount of bacon I had to get through, but here are a couple of afters:
Remember, none of those pics have any wax or sealant on yet, something which Dave is going to do next weekend. Not bad for a 9 year old car...
The paint was RIDICULOUSLY hard in places and at times I thought I'd been defeated, but after tweaking my technique and pad choice, I managed to get it all corrected in about 6 hours or so. It wasn't perfect, with some RDS's remaining, but 90% or so corrected I'd say.
That was a challenging one!
Thanks for the hospitality Dave
Cheers,
Russ.
