Any tips on bringing old paint back to a shine?
Hi guys,
As part of my S2 restoration i've bought a new shell as the other was rotten to the core...
Its in diamond white - but as it's been standing as a rolling shell for the last few years - the paint's gone quite matt and dull...
Wondered what the best way to give it some shine back was?
I can't really afford to get a bodyshop to mop it and lacquer it...
It'll probably get a respray in the spring time next year, but just want to give it some shine till then...
Any ideas?
