Well with the white wedge getting some new outriggers and some fettling I was feeling bored tonight

Still had the 2 sill covers so cracked on with my wet sanding routine and polish. If the rest of the car comes up this good I may just offer this service as a job lol

Lets begin



Clean and wash and gently rub all over with 2000 grit wet n dry (no pic but you can see the matt finish here)



Time to break out the big guns



Using my favoured product (its so easy even I can use it lol)



Not the best pic but here's the end result



Then a quick mask up and a can of satin black to tidy up the existing black bits on the sill



Then leave to dry and crack open a cold one :-)



NB please excuse the brand of beer, I'm normally a Stella man but the wife bought these so can't grumble :-)

Good effort, now try to get them back on without marking them biggrin
One of the joys of a metallic silver car, it doesn't matter how much or little you polish it, it still sparkles whistle

You dont realise how much ingrained dirt is on a car until you properly cut and polish it

Just done a bit of the bonnet to show lol
