Had nothing to do for an hour this afternoon, so got cracking on bringing the driver's side quarter panel back to its best.





That's awesome stuff that is

Mmmm, that's lovely. I hope I can get mine that shiny once it's painted.

Maybe add a few pictures of the car overall? Looks nice from what I can see.

Ooooo you'll have to wait until I polish it all

I'll try and upload some tomorrow, I should get chance to polish the rest of him after/at work.

Looks like a great finish!

that stuff is very good normally only available from the paint suppliers, and the rubbing compounds are the best i have used to date, i also use the polishing pads for my DA polisher and it comes up a treat just cant handle the splatter from it . did you use a rotary buffer to do yours?

doh looking at the reflection i can see a buffer. Good work

Thanks

Yeah I used a buffer, but after my first experience of getting polish and G10 compound all up a previously polished panel, I apply all the stuff librally with lint free cloths and then just dab a bit into the buffer pad (apart from the polishing one ). Then once buffed, get rid of the excess with micro fibre polishing cloths )

I only had time to do the back today, so haven't taken any more pictures

That's a wicked shine. What rubbing compound would you recommend?

[jb93]

Well, I took it right back with T-cut, and worked with that until the shine was restored. I then brought it back with Autoglym paint renovator and then the above polish . Although to be honest I'm only using those until I run out, and get round to having Farecla everything. The local car paint mixer/shop thing sells the stuff, and as said above it's what the professionals use so it must be good .
