After getting the car last week I decided to attack it with the PC yesterday . Bought Indy blue as I thought it would be nice polished, and I was right !

Being 8 years old the paintwork had not been touched and was very swirled , sapped and a few scuffs / scratches as well . First job was a wash then I clayed it with yellow poly clay . Another wash and dry then masked all the plastic off, onto polishing / correcting . Used Megs 80 and a light cutting pad with the PC . Took most of the scratches & swirls out . Very happy with the result . A coat of Dodo Purple haze on the blue and white diamond on the white .Left it to cure over night then a final coat of Red Mist Tropical this morning and it is looking bang on, not bad for an 8 year old I would say !!

Just need to find something to bring the arches up a bit better ??

Very nice. Had mine about a month now and only got round to my first wash/clay/LSP last week.

It looked clean when I got it but I still used up two bars of clay!
