Car was then washed and Iron X used along with tar remover on the bottoms of the doors.

Car was washed again and then clayed... you can now see how bad the paint work was, swirls all over and loads of holograms.

Test patch was taped off and went over it a few times to find the right pad and polish.

Paint work was really bad with this car I thought it would be an easy fix but it turns out its going to take a lot more effort to get the paintwork back to perfect. todays efforts probably took out 60% of the swirls ... Ill have another go in a month or so !

And a few random photos from the lakes :

Awesome, what pad/compound did you end up using?


Its me mates who had all the gear, was using his harshest or most aggresive compound with a orange pad I think its the second most aggressive u can get... Paint was really hard and its going to take sum time to get it perfect but at least its better than it was !
