If you are having trouble with the paint, have you tried taking a clay bar to it?
All the paint that could be saved is not saved by multiple decent polishes and an all over t-cut smile

However one rear quart has a scrape and a few little dents, and the other side rear quart has like no laquer, it sucks.

I will probably have a go at spraying them myself to sort em soon smile

Little bit of an update smile

CV Joint went last week, so that was replaced - Only issue ive had so far smile

Fully Serviced it last week also.


Also, new number plates arrived, I wanted to get rid of that Black plastic mounting plate thingy that holds the plate on, i dont really like it.

Took some pictures today as i gave the cat a good Bath/Polish - Autoglym super resin polish is amazing! biggrin

Before: (With black plastic mounting thingy!)


After: (Without)


Also, Why is it cars look awesome with no front plate biggrin



Clean and shiny smile

Looks fantastic!

If you really want to keep it looking good I suggest looking into some AutoGlym HD Wax (Amazon is the cheapest place to buy it) and maybe some Extra Gloss Protection.

My ST24 had the same paint as your Cougar and the paint turned out really well after a good going over smile

Am glad you are still enjoying it! Does it have the leather interior?

And no leather interior, It doesnt have the xpack. However my dads does and i dont really like the leather, i preffer the cloth to be honest smile

And i dont really miss the traction control/6 CD Changer so i dont mind it smile
