Uk Fiesta is transformed

[JJ_]

Ok heres the deal, I was doing this as a favour for one of the Scottish mags up here, to educate the non autopian people we have up here. This was a meguiars sponsored event.



It had not been cleaned for a long time and im told it had NEVER been waxed, and as most of you will no, in Scotland this is not a good idea. :nono



So here goes, I basically used the following



-The whole car got 2/3 passes of either one of these, althought I found ssr2.5 to deal with the swirls the best. 1Z for the deep scratches. All used on a meguiars cutting pad.

DACP, 1Z IP and SSR2.5 to remove the majority of scratches etc.

#80 as the condition was a little rough after the intensive polishing.



-I glazed with #7 and VM just to see a difference, VM is much easier to use. #7 was easy enough to remove once I got the hang of it.



-Layer of NXT tech wax and finally topped with #16.



I feel this is a good combo for a dark colour when using only meguiars.



This was supposed to be a meguiars thing and they kindly gave us some of the polish to do it.



First up are the befores.

Ok well thats your lot. Took about 5/6 hours to complete.



It had the lot, swirls, scratches some had to be wetsanded where touch up paint had been poorly attempted.

Very nice job on getting those key poke holes out

Thanks for the comments, I used a simple chip stick with the key holes due to the chips being too deep and I this was not paid for this so I didn`t want to touch up as well using my own resources.
