Mammoth machine polishing and waxing session on Dibble!

[chickenjohn]

Some bits could be better (couldn't they allways?) but generally I am quite pleased with the results of a days machine polishing with G3, followed by Autoglym paint renovator applied by hand, followed by Farecla hand glaze (applied by hand), then finally a good coat of Blitz pure carnauba wax and a good buffing.

Nice one! and a tidy result you are into your detailing, then, John?

Thanks for the kind comment! No, not detailling as such just into my restoration. The paintwork on the car was all done by me, the best panels which had a good shine and only needed a small amount of polishing were done in a booth at college and the main bodywork at home without the benefit of controlled temperature and good lighting.

White is a tricky colour to spray as you see almost no reflections from the fresh white paint, so difficult to judge if you are spraying the panel wet enough. So some of my paint work was good out of the gun and some had orange peel and if I sprayed too wet on a vetical surface (shock horror) a run or two.

Hence the need to wet sand certain areas, followed by a G3 machine polish to blend the paint together, followed by glaze and wax to protect the paint. The paint work on the car feels superb and smells lovely too! (carnauba waxes are often edible!)
