Default Gave the Old Mans fiesta a clean up

After being so chuffed with the results I'd got on my impreza, I thought i'd have a go at my Dad's tired looking fiesta yesterday.

I used the same process as that on my impreza:

2 bucket method
clay
rinse
wash
dry
menzerna IP (power gloss where needed)
menserna final Polish II
One step acrylic jacket
no jeffs werkstatt this time though as we were happy with the result from the one step acrylic jacket.

a few pics:




a fence panel blew out and hit the mirror some time back. leaving this paint mark:



paint mark now gone. removed using megs claybar and a lot of patience. this had a great result imo. seemed kinder to the paint underneath rather then polishing for ages



Not bad for only the second one i've done




Dad just cleaning up the trim





The old man wwas more than happy with the results. not bad for just over 3 hours between us. He still needs to clean the inside though!

That's excellent in 3 hours!

But he needs to get that wheel hub! Ruins the whole effect.

What's that mark on the bonnet, by the nearside wheel?

Cheers.

He went out straight after we'd finished and got it sorted out.
