Mr Singh I am totally in awe!!! That is top, top work!!!
I only realised you were from the uk when I saw the orange halfords 99p bucket lol!
Seeing the dull grey wet sanded area was a real shock but you brought it back really nice!

Fantastic job Mr Singh, I didn't think a job like this could be finished off with just a PC. I'm going to try this on my own car.  |

SINGH........as I can see by the number of replies to your post I'm not alone in saying WOW! That is some great work! You got quite a pair on you to wet sand using only a PC, I wouldn't have the guts to even attempt something like that on anything less than some junk yard heep.
I have to say it again........excellent job |

I should have chimed in earlier, but... wow. amazingly beautiful job! I know from experience how much fun wetsanding black paint is (tho I was working a base/clear combo). SO satisfying to see that final reveal as you polish down the dull haze... Beautiful work...
I'm confused by the photos, tho - it looks like you started on the passenger side rear door, then went back the next day and redid the whole passenger side again?
Thanks for sharing. GREAT!

Excellent, excellent results. 2 weeks is a lot of time to devote to your car's finish but it looks like it really paid off in the end!

Thanks guys for all the comments... i'm loving the finish... its turning heads like no tomorrow 
animes2k - yes. I tested an area on the door jam first. Then proceeded on the worst panel of the car. Rear passanger door.
After that you see me do the rest of the passanger side minus the rear door.
Following from that, i bought 2000 grit, yes... i did it with 1200grit first but could't compound out some fine scratch's... So proceeded with 2000 grit on that side, safe to say it didn't go thin!!!
I will take some real close up shots for you guys this weekend, will wash it and apply another coat of Pinnacle Signature series wax...
