So I thought I'd have a little polish...

Post by wingz123 »

I thought I'd whip out the polishng machine Crazy4Alfa kindly leant me....

I only did the drivers-side wing as I was just having a play but there was all sorts of cracking on the surface that looked like it had had a bit of paint but not been properly finished/machine polished after it was done......

You can see the side of the bumper how the wing was before I started polishing it (haven't done the bumper yet so hoping this will come up like this too)

About 20 minutes on the wing and it had it looking great!! :mrgreen: I just need to go over the whole car now!! I slapped a good layer of AutoGlym Super Resin Polish on top and I think the results are great! Needs a couple more coats to really add some depth but yes impressed with my work. As mentioned, it didn't take me all that long really...never done machine polishing before either
