Flame Red Delight
Well since owning my 182, have really started to notice the amount of build up of stone chips on the front bumper and front bonnet. I am lead to believe that my car has been a motorway car and we all know what that does to the front ends of cars.
Anyway after reading the thread on detailing world about stone chip correction i set about to try this guide. I achieved very good results, i could have probably achieved even better if i had actually messed about with it further, but time was against me (and the weather). I take no credit for the guide what so ever i just followed the steps provided and they worked. The only regret was that i used a halfrauds stone chip remover pen. I will definately be buying the paints for you kit in the future for when i do the other half of the bonnet.

I done a 50/50 with the drivers side being the side in which i correct and the passenger side shows the extent of how badly stone chipped the bonnet is.
Many of you may be saying why not just get it sprayed and save the hassle? and this is purely me trying to do it on a tight budget, and also trying to expand my skills with rotary/pc.
This is the passenger side (drivers side was worst than this before the guide was used, we can see how bad it is)

This is some pics of the corrected area, i found it very hard to get pics to highlight the results, i did no achieve 100% correction. But it definately has made me happy and have removed around 80% of chips i would say.
