thanks for the replies, looks like the bench will be coming out and will be scrubbed  :rolleyes:

but first.... wash, t-cut, colour match, and high def wax  :cool:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

well good point however i have none of that available today, can only use what i have!

besides autoglym high def wax should seal it nicely...

NIGHTMARE.
  :angry:

i had t-cut and colour-matched the roof and bonnet last weekend, so all i needed to do today was t-cut the rest of the car, colour match the worst panels and high def wax the whole car.

been out there since half 4 and just finished, having t-cut the lot. drivers side is all waxed, applied wax to roof and bonnet BUT doing this at dusk means removing wax is nigh-on impossible!

so rear/passenger side/bonnet/roof will have to be finished at another time  :rolleyes:

i ache  :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

I keep saying I'm going to t-cut and wax my car, but I never get round to it... Hopefully when I do the colour will come up lovely.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

for 18 year old paint mine has come up great, although i need to finish waxing it otherwise the bare paint will fade again...  :undecided:

really i need 2 new front wings because of dents etc, and the rear qtr panel has a small dent that wants filling and spraying.

hmmm.

i work next to a spray shop.....  :smug:

this car is becoming a real money pit!

Have a search on the interweb for SMART dent repairers in your area - it will be MUCH cheaper than getting a new wing.  I think they use suction gizmos to get the dent out very quickly/effectively.
