So the water marks came back. Proper gutted.

Today took he MX5 up to a mates unit with Archie and took the bonnet off and attacked it with 1600 grit wet and dry, then gave it 3 coats of lacquer. Got some of the marks out but they're hard to see when working the bonnet so missed a few up the back end. Problem is they're now sealed in with lacquer. Will flat it back in a week once it's properly cured and polish it up to see how it looks. I might well have to cut it all off the top half of the bonnet and give it another go.

Well we'll see how I get on fixing the bonnet as I have also got it on the wing tops which I want to fix.

Marcus who's unit I used today has offered to blow the whole car over in a long weekend in 2pac for a very reasonable price if I help prep it so that might well be happening in the new year as it'll get rid of the stone chips and I can fill the car park dings etc.
