Well as the Bucks meet is this weekend so thought I'd best get on & fix all the swirls inflicted by the so called hand car wash's they should just fill a bucket of water then fill half of it with grit, oh sorry they do that anyway  Wink & I hate using them but after my foot operation I couldn't wash the car the way I do, so the wife was taking the car to them  Sad.
Tried half the bonnet just to see what work I'm in for  Thumbs Up!

I got my answer & it was A LOT of work  Grin

Great looking car - and fantastic results  Cool - even before you'd taken the swirls out. Looks like I might have an assistant as well on Monday...
The next most important step now is to keep it looking like this when you wash it... Thumbs Up!

Very nice indeed  Thumbs Up!

Can I ask what you used to black up under the bonnet?
Was is the back to black spray on stuff or did you use baby oil like a lot of oofer's recommend ?


I only use baby oil for one thing & one thing only & we don't have a baby  Cheesy
I use Meguiars Hyper Dressing from my mate Mark at http://shop.autobritedirect.co.uk/  Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up! top geeza & service


I have absolutely no idea what you mean! Roll Eyes Grin

Seriously though, car doesn't look like it needs a respray at all - nice colour and great shine. Thumbs Up!
