This detail has been planned for quite a while now, since the middle of last year and I've finally got around to doing it. I had to spread it out over 4-5 days and probably 40 odd hours as it was very bad!

I spent a whole day just cleaning the muck off it, washing it and claying. It was looking so much better already but still had a long way to go to restore it's former shine, it just didn't look right in pink!

This has been my hardest detail yet and I found working on single stage paint a lot trickier than clearcoat. I wasn't aiming for total swirl removal but just to get it back to red, although I think I did manage to remove a lot of the heavier swirling.

This was also my first time with a rotary and wool but I found it very easy, in fact it was easier than when I had my DA and without the vibration.

I also sanded the wiper arms and sprayed them hammerite smooth as the paint was flaking a lot.

Photos show just how bad it was before but they don't really do the finished result any justice, it looks awesome in the flesh

We are in the process of organising the stand for JAE 2012 which is being held at Wicksteed Park, Kettering on the 7th to 9th September.



This will be held as a joint CCUK/YCUK event and we are hoping to have a great turnout.



So that we can get an idea of how much space is needed could we please have a show of hands of who is interested in attending. Also if anyone has any questions/ comments or suggestions just let me know, might be best to use the other JAE thread for general chat as I want to keep this as clean as possible,
