Ant brought his car down to me last night to start this morning so I thought i'd take a few pics and do another write up,

 

I've spent 8 hours on it so far and 5 hours were just polishing the bonnet!

 

First thing this morning and a few pics;

Which Dodo are you putting on sir? I popped some Blue Velvet on mine the other week and it came up a treat, the problem is I want an excuse to buy others now because they smell so nice :)

 

Nice work so far though, looking forward to the finished pics. You are more patient than me with the bonnet, I tend to just quarter it.

looks good but why 5 hours on the bonnet, are you experimenting with different compounds and mops ?

 

the bonnet was full of fairly deep scratches and each square I masked needed 3-4 passes before I was happy with the results :) the wings only needed 2 passes.

I have rainforest rub going on (ooo eer) yeah they smell great! lol, very nice and easy to work with ,

 

yeah I tend to polish better in smaller area's which is why I mask so small :)

Good. Was going to try claying and a super bol*cks wax next but I won't bother now (though it still doesn't feel smooth)

 

you should still clay, polish and wax to keep it nice as it makes washing far easier next time :)
