Default R32 paint correction (few pics )

Looks well quiet in here of late , it maybe a while before anyone comes back lol !!
Anyway last week i spent most of my time attempting some correction work on a friends VW with a das6 pro and Menz polishes and pads , its the 4th car i,ve machine polished and after many hours of hard work i was well chuffed with the results .

The roof was scratched and lots of rds and moderate swirling as was the centre part of the bonnet . S100 became a friend of mine and i actually finished down ok with 3.02rd

Pics aren,t brilliant but you get the idea . Also there,s another car that maybe of some interest in the pics Not the greatest pics and no before,s i,m afraid . All paint was measured prior to polishing and finished off using Werkstat Acrylic . (pics before this)














The car looked awsome in front of us and i will jewel the finish with 85rd with a yellow finishing pad to create an even sharper finish
Thanks for looking

M.J

That door lock could do with being removed mate, they are so easy to break into

Thanks guys , Moonsie I,ve not tried 106 yet , whats it like with minor swirls and where in the range does it sit? i got 3.02, 203s ,85, ?

I thought them locks looked 80,s style lol . Seems a nice vehicle , just reversing it felt good! The seats welcome you with a lovely noise of an engine

White Escort is of a 4x4 YB variety

Very good imo,sits before the 85rd i belive.106 combined with a menz finishing pad decent correction can be had...even on bmw paint!!but if its severe swirling just step up a notch on the pad

The Konig seats are awesome, they still sell for over a grand 2nd hand

The delock kit is about Ł20 from the dealers, well worth having if he doesn't fancy some little scroat having that interior or the whole car away
