 I'm O.K. at stuff Posts: 1405   Location: Leeds - A Better City Than Yours. | So after finally messing around with getting my engine conversion done, it was time to have a little play with my Silverline Silverstorm rotary polisher. I went head first into getting a rotary rather than going for a DA first - simply because I can't be bothered with messing around buying and selling when i know i'll end up with a rotary in the end anyway. Products used: Fairy liquid (just to strip the wax I had on originally) ASDA wash mitt Duragloss 901 ASDA drying towel Autosmart tardis Bilt Hamber regular clay Serious performance low cut, hi-cut and finishing polish Serious performance white, orange and finishing pads 3M detailing tape. AG Extra Gloss Protection Colli #915 This was before any wash - not actually in a bad state as it's not been driven yet but still the paint work was lacking refinement and definition.    Also had some random tar spots on the rear bumper     I then clayed it - love Bilt Hamber. Deffo going to be using this clay from now on. Fitted my alloys too...  After claying I washed with duragloss 901 and dried it. I then went about taking the vents and washer jets out ready for polishing.  Taped up using 3M detailing tape    Note the plastic sandwich bags under the bonnet vents to stop polishing dust residue getting in the engine bay!  Taped up a patch on the bonnet to test which combination was working best for the correction. It may be in an unorthadox place but I am learning.  Can really see here the lacquer from the rattle can on the rear arch that I haven't blended in properly yet  Just a random shot post claying and washing  Moved into the garage for the added benfit of a strip light above.     After polish and rinsed off  You can see that one headlight is duller than the other - water has got in somewhere and has reduced the clarity of it :@     Quite a bit of orange peel, something i may tackle once i've gotten good at this malarchy   I then applied one coat of AG EGP and one coat of Colli 915#    Then today i've applied another coat of Colli to catch out the parts I may have missed. So finishing shots i guess!       It's a bit nooby because I am a noob. but not to worry - I enjoyed it. Would love some comments and criticism. Cheers, Dan! | ||
