Polishing questions
 

I am doing up an Audi 80 V6 Avant as a bit of a project, the bonnet is a bit of a mess, tree sap, bird poo and little scratches, whats the best way of bringing it back, just polishing it makes it shiny but it still looks crap

Was going to get some Tcut tommorow but is there a better way, are there any cheap mechanical polishers to take the effort out of it ?

A mechanical buffer should bring the proper nasty ones out

I would -

1. Wash the car with some washing up liquid first of all to remove any polish and dirt from the car.
2. T-Cut the car.
3. Wash the car again to remove the T-Cut residue.
4. Colour magic polish the whole car to try and improve the colour and sort out any dull sections of the paint work.

Job done.

You could spend a fortune on all sorts of fancy polishes but on a car of that age, i don't think its really worth it.

cheers

My thoughts exactly, doing as much as I can from the stuff I have around, hence it has Ford Stratos silver wheels !

Try Sanburn the audi vw breakers in cov they will put you straight

Cheers Webby, will do that.

Painted one wheel today, perfunctary job but looks ok, cleaned the interior, did a half arsed job of the outside, needs the tcut to do it properly, mainly did it so its didnt look like a nail sat outside the house !

for a decent job..

would hire a decent buffer with a foam mop, use G3 compound with water (so not to go straight through the paint ) wash down after. then use meguiars scratch X to remove the swirl marks, then gold class to polish, will look like new then !!

cheers, alex..
