Not Hard. Filler here and there, getting out the bubbles with wet/dry and using it on the whole car. Then Prime.. then spray It comes up a treat. But it needs just that extra goodness to finish off.

Maybe crossed wires here :undecided:

oic

if i was advising on a newly sprayed and lacquered panel I would suggest now waxing it for 90 days, in the meantime washing it using two bucket method weekly
