lads ,

bought a dual action rotary polisher for the price of one good valet and had a go.As a beginner i had no experience with a machine ,only hand polishing/waxing.so when i bought the mk1 i thought it needed painting it was so bad so i practiced on it so to speak as i didnt care if i damaged the finish.i would be repainting anyway.

Well it seems i didnt have to paint it after all(for the moment anyway)

I used a compound i got from local factors and wet polished it,very messy but brought paint back to life,then gave it a simple coat of meguairs and job done.

i watched a few videos online on the meguairs g220 and read topics like polished bliss for tips (thks by the way lads)


as i found it



Before

car just home and after a wash !!!!



roof , car was stored in a tile warehouse



mexico wings,worth a few bob these days but not like this



you can just see the crap deep in the paint



sad , sad , sad



During









After















have done about four other cars since and results are as goog if not better as i had a donor to practice on and make any mistakes.hard to damage paint with a da tho and thats why i got that type.

cheers
