    This car has a few kms in 2 and a half years, but the state of the painting was serious...


    [​IMG]

    The state was poor and in some panels i used PG to correct, and made a full wetsanding the ceiling.

    The bonnet was not free from damage as is "normal" ...

    The standard was always cut the minimum, the PTG indicated between 100 to 145 microns, with average holograms .

    Here after cutting PO91L and finished with 85RD

    [​IMG]

    The bonnet polishing was slow and had to take a few touches of PG to take deeper scratches

    Before:

    The trunk was another of the critical points and was used cutting, IP and 85RD with blue.

    Looks awesome man. Beautiful car. Great job on the swirl removal.

    How do you like the PO91L??? I used the PO85RD the other night. Really nice product.

    Strong!!! That's good stuff. My dad had one for about a year or two. They really are beautiful cars. One of the most civil beasts I've ever driven. Again, that's an amazing turnaround.

    Well Bennys generally run a 7 year model, the GT came out in 02/03. So Im good if until 09/10. Ill probably look for a lease, I got stuck buying a 360 a couple of years back and that sucker took FOREVER to sell. The M3 on the other hand, sold in 2 days.

    Ill have a 4 car garage in my new home! Im also going to have a covered parking lot put in so I'll have more room!

    I dont know if it's the same in cali, but I know that there were a TON of then with minimal miles and relatively cheap in Phoenix. Minimal miles being 800-2500 mi last year, in the 158-160 range. Have you been for a spin in one?

    I don´t use it anymore, its a GREAT polish and use it for years but now i have 3.02 that has more working time with the same level of cutting, working at 2000 rpms is a breeze :woot:


    Metal Polish from Autosol and Einszett Chrome polish


    It´s not very hard, but for deeper scuffs only PG work it :rollinglaugh:
