Removing Swirls - Successful weekend!

[D'oh]

Hi Guys

After picking up my TTRS about 2 months ago , i was itching for a weekend where i could spend trying to bring the car back up to a standard i am somewhat happy with. I absolutely loved the car from the moment i got it , but always cringed a bit when i caught a glimpse under bad lighting. The swirls were horrific and the whole car was affected.

I knew i wouldn't be able to enjoy the car properly until i spent some time on it with the polisher. Here are some befores - it is hard to capture swirls on camera.

The rear wing was one of the most affected areas , the previous owners wash techniques must have been horrific :roll:





Some after shots - definite gloss improvement and a lot of the swirls removed













I documented the whole process in a blog post if anyone is interested in trying it themselves.

To be honest I've never given a rat's arse what my cars look like. I buy old nails and if they get a blast with the pressure washer up at the farm once a year it's a good year for them. However I do appreciate skill in whatever area of expertise it is and you've sure done a hell of a job there. Nice work.

Nice work. Just scanned through your guide, this gives some nice tips and advise.

Thanks Guys

If im honest im still not 100% happy with the paint , and will probably do another round of polishing when the weather improves a bit closer to the summer.

It's a start though!

Summer? Ah I just googled that. Not a concept we have much time for up here in northern Scotland.
