But yup the Wet Diamond is about the easiest product i've ever used.
Fair point... where do you get your SN from? I notice there is a place (Ultimate Finish) at Brands Hatch that could be worth a visit.

right i have a silver 206 that's had a few spray jobs done by the looks of it, it has the orange peel effect on one panel and what looks like rain drop marks on another panel that wont shift, would a PROPER detail of the paint work get rid of these if so i will look into getting it done?
thanks

It'll depend if the orange peel / runs are in the clear coat or the colour layer. If the colour layer then you're stuck with it. If the clear coat i can wet sand it as much as possible and then machine it back up.

Up to you fella, I don't mind either way. Although I had every neighbour in my street talking to me today, which is why it took me so much longer to finish off than the 2 hours i said it would
