Before anyone comments "any angle can make it look clean etc" - this was a tidy up. a full correction isn't on the cards till the spring as its a daily driver. However, the single stage refined a decent amount of the paintwork. It will require a wet sand for orange peel on all the doors as well some tidy up's on chips etc. Then i'll go for a full 2 -3 stage correction and ceramic coating when the weather is warmer.

For now, please enjoy the pics of my labours.

Comments appreciated.
