Spit & Polish

Time to set minds and elbow grease towards getting the exterior looking nice. How good will the paint come up after a bit of a polish? Good question!

Masked up and ready to go...

JtC brought up a bottle of Auto Glym Super Resin Polish...

...and I had an old can of some über-abrasive Kitten polish. It didn't take long to realise the old Kitten polish was rubbish, leaving swirls everywhere, so it was ditched.

The boot lid and roof have - by far - the worst paint out of all the panels on the car. All vertical surfaces came up a treat, some very nice reflection off the doors...

...and the fenders...

After hitting the roof and boot with Kitten, then multiple goes of Super Resin Polish, the decision was made to acquire some heavy-duty Auto Glym Paint Renovator and try again tomorrow.

Stay tuned!
