yeh true but when your unemployed time = Boredom
going to do my dads focus estate soon
that should earn me a few beers from dad :idea: And for some strange perverse reason im dying to ask my aunt if she wants her black corsa doing (which really does need a full correction) who ever had it before her must have used a scrubbing brush on it...
Can't wait to see if the PITA Nimbie neighbours try and shop me for "working" when im claiming JSA :tosser: wouldn't take money off my aunt anyway

took me that to do a KA (with black plastic bumpers) then again it all depends on what condition its in how hard the paint is and the rest

Probably about 8-10 hours as long as the weather is good. As andy says depends on the paint work and how bad it is really.

Looks good, the blue does give an immense reflection. So much depth to it.

need to polish the bit between the H/L brake light and the roof i sorta missed that bit (and boy did it show in the sun)
its got such amazing depth to it! I need mine looking like that!
Top notch job Andy

yes I had to do been about a week since i finished it
due to the weather and everything else i took to doing a panel at a time clean with Q/D (unless it was dirty then full wash) clay, Qd wipe over polish, wipe over with QD then Lime prime lite, wipe off then wax each panel,
so by the end each panel had a coat of wax so the freshly exposed panel wasn't unprotected
then today i got round to giving the entire car a coat of wax (so easy with the da)
(the beading shots above were from today's wash before i waxed)
Thats really nice Andy good work, thanks for all the info. I still have not got a polisher, been using that Bilit Hamber clay and autoglym sampoo polish and wax.
I proper love the results!
Really nice. I bbet if I had a machine polisher I would get some decent results too
