The Body
So the old girl isn't finished yet, but getting there! I had terrible lacquer peel on the front bumper due to a previous shoddy repair (not in my families ownership) The rear tailgate had multiple scratches/paint missing due to a previous owner missing the keyhole! Wing mirrors scuffed badly, heaven knows where, and two large scuffs on the rear bumper! There are a few more bits I am not happy with, but they will have to wait for "round 2" lol! "ZT" and flag badge etc need replacing yet, obviously, but she's almost there. Can't wait to get her back!

Looking good Dawn - it'll be like having a new car once it's completed - exciting times!

I'm scared of claying it myself as Iv'e heard doing it wrong can cause more issues.

That looks nice Dawn, you can’t beat trophy blue when it’s perfect.

You won’t cause any issues by coating Dawn, just get a mild clay not an aggressive one and all will be well.

If I clay it, I can't mop it after and it has swirls. I think the Nano peeps should do classes
