No much has been happening until today really, car has been away to the bodyshop for the best part of 3 weeks as there was a few things I wanted sorted out, wanted a better finish on the door mouldings, side skirts lips, bits touched up on the bumper and the rear quarter. pics below of bad stuff,
Paint was peeling every time I washed the car which was driving me mad.
So went into the bodyshop and got the following painted
Rear bumper
Rear splitter
O/s/r quarter treated for rust (ended up being rotten, guy did the best he good but will come back pretty soon)
Door mouldings
Side skirts
Front splitter
Front bumper corner
Waiting on handles getting done and trying to sort something out mirror wise.
Everything on the car was done except the rear splitter reacted which was frustrating
Had the car back for nearly 2 weeks now so decided to clean it up, some pics,
Clayed all non painted areas
Fitted new seats
Then drafted in my brother to machine polish it with The following
Kestral das6 pro machine
Various chemical guys Hex logic pads
Auto glym srp
Gtechnique P1 polish
Then sealed the whole car except the rear bumper with 2 layers of hd wax, leaving the rear bumper for another week to let the paint cure/de-gas
All of this took the best part of 12 hours, not quite finished yet, still a few areas to refine with the machine polisher but very happy with it now
Thanks for taking time to look and read, all c+c's welcome
