Looks superb! 

Plans for the wheels (changing colour)?

[Big Tone]

Nope, just getting rid of scuffs then polishing up, eventually

wish i could do this to my car, polished it all up and it was filthy again the next day, crap off all the buses going down my street covers it.

have you got any before and after pics of the scratches on the wing? and how you got rid of em?

[Big Tone]

Rinse it every day

This is the LH wing before polishing, you can see all the scratches and loads of small stone chips.
The entire car was heavily swirled and had been touched up (Poorly) in the past, this I found out when claying the car as it pulled the majority of them off.



This is the RH wing, paint where scratched was prepped, then touched up, then left for about a month to cure (The weather was CR*P!), then I used megs QD and 2000Grade wet&dry, (2500 is better) to remove the excess paint down to a flush finish.



This is the wing after polishing up.




Hope that helps

Just to add, the scratches on the passanger wing were not filled with paint, they were polished out, only the very big scratches were filled about a month before.

nice work

the best way to tell if you have hit all the swirls is to look into a direct light source...

you can pick these little LED inspection torches up cheep
