First paid detail

[Waitey]

Decided to do my mates 206 GTi 180 as he's selling it now and it needed to be de-swirled badly.

The paint turned out to be a right arse so i used 3M fast cut on it, finished and refined with IP and Final finish. 100% Swirl correction was pretty epic tbh. All topped off with some P21s as it works great on Blues.

Total time 9 hours.

No before pics since you've all seen swirls....

If anyone near East Yorkshire wants theirs doing drop me a PM.

Hope mine looks as good as that! :approve:

I'll try. Sadly i won't have 9 hours though lol

 

[AK]

Looks good, well done.

How much did that cost him ?

 

[Ali]

Impressed that you managed it in 9hrs. FCP is a difficult compound to work with due to the extended work time and dust! You using Rotary aye? I would of thought IP was enough cut on froggy paint.

LOL at Dust. f**king loads of the stuff. It looked like it had been snowing in his workshop.....

IP just wouldn't work fast enough. Using FCP saved a lot of time in the long run tbh.

No rotary just a random orbital sander i've adapted. It has a smaller orbit so it acts like a Rotary but its a bit safer.

After you had finished polishing did you wash to remove all the white bits?

 

[Waitey]

Yeah a quick jet wash to removed the mountains of dust. Also got some 'Polish remover' from landrover for the plastics. Works great.

Nice results lad, which P21s did you use? The rebranded R222 stuff or their new "100%" carb wax?

About to complete mine for FCS and unsure on the toss up between Nattys Blue and P21s . . . !!

 

[Waitey]

The old retro stuff. Don't get on with their new one. Doesn't look wet enough.

Natty's blue my sexy friend.

Agreed with both, just interested if anyone has tried their supa dupa 100% stuff. £40 doesn't stack up . . .

Anyway, nice results fella.

 

[Waitey]

I have tried it. I borrowed some. It just didn't look right. Lasted longer than P21s though...

However long you have, minus pub time lol.

Where do you live, do mine!

Natty's it is, p21s on the windows and wheels for FCS me thinks.

 

[Waitey]

TBH you could use both. Quick glaze over with P21s at FCS. Thats what i did with my old GTi. Looked awesome.

 

[JD]

True, I was thinking the other way round. Clarity of the P21s, depth of the Nattys . . .

 

[Waitey]

Depends on what blue it is really. My GTi was fairly light so you could never get any depth with it. So i went for good reflections.

Quick spray of QD on the pad can help reduce dusting.

Nice work though!

 

[Waitey]

Everyone loves dust though..
