Re: Swirled up Lotus Elise brought back to black...

Did you polish the starshield? If so, what method/product did you use?

Thanks

Re: Swirled up Lotus Elise brought back to black...

Thanks for all the positive comments!

I have no idea how someone could possibly let a car such as this get in such bad shape, especially only having less than 3K miles on it. I guess some people just don't care. Maybe when you have an unlimited supply of money (which I don't), you can afford to just buy a new one when the old one doesn't look good anymore! Even if I was rich, there is no way I could even try to neglect a car that bad. I guess everyone is different. If people didn't let their cars get dirty, I would have no job!



Kenney-
For the Starshield I used the same process as the paint, but at very low speed settings. That is why it took me so long to buff.

I must say, excellent job! I sent this to all my buddies to see how metal flake can pop when done right!

I wish I could touch that car lol.

You have a nice account there. They buy some nice cars and spend on you to clean them up right.
