French boost bus correction.

[Digital Reaper]

This will be more a progress thread on the correction, as i'm doing it a panel at a time due to time constraints.

The aim is for me to achieve the maximum correction with the least aggressive combination possible.

So, I started with the bonnet - rinshed, washed, rinsed, Iron X, Tardis and CYC fine clay (with LT as lube).

Not much contamination left :

Followed by a rinse off, dry and to inspect the condition of the paintwork...

Swirls and RDS evident :

I tried a few combinations, but settled on :

CG Hexalogic green pad with Menz PF2500

Refined with CG Hex white pad + Menz SF4500

Paintwork cleansed with CG Hex black pad + Poorboys blackhole.

LSP is 1 coat of Raceglaze 55 wax.

I figure I achieved about 80 - 85% correction, but the paint was a little tricky to fathom, harder than I thought!

These are the finished results :

Cheers man.

Not much else happened due to the cold snap we've had, and basically living at work.

A gratuitous few beading shots though :
