guys
just joined up and found this thread - wanted to see if i had made it across the water to you guys lol!
Ok the technique described above - there is a format.
the whole bonnet `hood' has already been corrected at that point. i work the area and then at the final stages i work the perimeter of the section with the oil/broken/spent polish to provide me with a lead into the next section ie feathering. Its not critical but thats my way.
over here porsche paint aint soft - some earlier single paints are, but generally they are hard. Hence the speed, duration etc, plus i'm using a 3m waffle with ultrafina therefore a very very mild finishing and great for burnishing.
best regards
