JCs MK2 GL - Part II

[Guy]

to be fair, it was a good car to start with 

oh absolutely... i think i mentioned the quality of the original paintwork in my post, i didn't have shed loads of RDS (random deep scratches) to worry about which helped massively.

the chances of finding a 20+ year old car, in its original state, that only needs a single pass machine polish to make it look this good are probably in the region of 10,000:1 or maybe less.

can't wait to work on it again.

well this is my 2nd, 3rd if you include the b3 Passat 

none of the previous cars you owned had anywhere near this quality of paintwork imo

I sometimes tell people that Jade Green can take on the appearance of Chrome! when its highly polished that is... the comment is usually met with a vacant stare, as they wonder what I'm actually on about!
Jade is a very understated colour, dark enough to deeply reflect the sky and clouds, yet the grey/green seems to disappear as its over powered rich reflections, leaving the paint almost colourless...



Great job Guy... but to be fair, the car was mint to start with
