michael Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) hi guys just wondering what is the best thing to get the paintwork gleaming.find that when i do mine it can look a bit streaky especialy at night.cheers Do you want to hide the current defects or are you willing to invest time and money in removing them? What sort of cash can you spare? Are you willing to machine polish? What do you mean by "streaky"?

SimonT Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Speak to a man called Peter Richards on here he knows about quality polishes etc or if you want to go all out and get it detailed then speak to Stonkin as his work looks fantastic!!

peter richards Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 if it looks streaky , chances are its had a bit of T cut or something , as its impossible to be consistent over a large area doing it by hand , and youll only see it under a street lamp, fuel station . few options get it professionally machined , (btw i do this as well, amazing how quick people forget lol ) then after you just do the up keep , but you will need to refine your wash + drying technique . or there's polishes available that will mask the effect you are seeing to an extent and after a few washes will re appear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanBEXsupra Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 hey there, i recently went on a quest to get my supe shinier than before. and talkewd to a guy who used to work for honda (and a previous owner of a UK supe!) he said try to deterr from using t-cut as its not good stuff to apply to paintwork. so i didnt, i took it down to him and he machine polised it for me, its been in stages as some bits needed more work than most, and now she really is very shiny, heres a pic! And from the side by the way, that was after the first bout of polish, now shes shinier, machine polishing is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanBEXsupra Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Silver can be so cruel to hard work if you don't stage the photos properly. its pretty hard to see significant change in silver. thats for sure. but she is looking a lot better than when i got her!
