Have been following various threads re detailing and paint work.
When purchased at 7 months old “Bertie” had collected the usual “scuffs” in the passenger side paintwork from roadside vegetation.
Although happy to buy vehicle at very good price from main dealer and haggled hard over condition, I always felt that the paintwork could be improved with time and right equipment.
Fast-forward to last 2 days and this what I have managed to achieve.
In order.
Original scuffs in lacquer cost.

Very happy owner, and Bertie about to celebrate his 2nd Birthday in lovely condition.
Cannot rate the products used highly enough.
Found this You Tube invaluable
