    Hi All


    As a complete novice, having never carried out a full correction before, here are a few pics of my labour!! I took advice, and carried out the correction over a few weeks, concentrating on a panel at a time.

    Usual prep work was carrried out, Valet pro PH neutral snow foam, washed with BTBM, clayed etc. The machine polish was carried out using my G220, using Megs#83, and a Lake county orange pad, I then finished with a couple of coats of Colli 845, I also topped that up with a spritz of Red mist.

    Wow a nice finish, and a nice color. Curious to know about the specs on this car.
    Also good idea to do your own car over a week period and one panel at a time. Was thinking of redoing each panel on my car to get everything perfect.

    Hi

    Thanks for your reply, Specs are, 2.5 Ltr, 5 cylinder, turbo charged unit. The Dreamscience badge in the pictures, refers to a engine Re-map company here in the UK. I've remapped the engine, it's now giving me around 270bhp, and 330lbfts of torque.

    Awwww, no before pics?

    No matter, it looks great! I always loved the wild colors they did on those. The ST is such a great little hot hatch. I still hate Ford for refusing to bring it across the pond.
