had a busy day today, had a badly faded mitsubishi warrior
the readings from my paint thickness gauge before polishing was only 90um
which is only 0.09mm, a normal car is around 120-200
jap cars for some reason seem to have thin paint
also, the paint on this car is only a single stage paint
no lacquer on top, so got a bit of a fright when looking at the pad and it was red lol
after polishing i took some more readings and was getting 80 on most of them maybe 70 on some badly faded parts which took more work
heres some pics
