Winter Scars

Post by leewaring »

Well its the first decent day to clean the car today and clean I did! Wash, cockpit shine, hoover and even Mr Muscle window and Glass!

I'm nearing completion of my car in the moddification front so I've been taking a bit more time to actually look at the condition of my car and Jeez has it got a lot of little niks and marks all over!! Also the cloth interior could do with a real good going over. The pannels are shining and the glass is ok.

Talked to a painter/sprayer bloke and he suggests booking the car in for a full professional Buff and Poilsh to remove most of the paint swirls. As for getting rid of the marks and stone chips.... well I'm wondering how much its all gonna cost??

Oh and so nobody says "this thred needs pics" .. here:-

Where are the pictures???? :lol:

Thought u were going to turn it inot a track machine anyway? so surely the interior needs to come out :twisted:

In my opinion a professional buff, is exactly the same as doing it yourself but paying for someone to do it. I had a chat with a bloke from a paintshop about my "pinking" paintwork, he gave it a professional buff on one of the light covers to show how well it would come up. After 2 weeks it was back to the state it was before, I actually found that regular polish does exactly the same job, and last for longer. Just my opinion on the matter.

Chips away or a similar company should be able to sort your stone chips, tho i'm not sure how much they charge!! You could always buy yourself a touchup kit from halfords, and get an eleccy polisher whilst you're there :mrgreen:
