getting it done and back together, MOTd amd on the road is the best plan
I agree, now if only the car would agree too! Seems to have other ideas, as always.
Ye it's a bit of a struggle, i was wet sanding the front bumper yesterday sat on a chair and had quite a sore back in the evening and feeling uncomfortable today, so there's a way to go.
I'm giving the paint one last chance - i'm going very softly with 1,500 on a small durablock and brought a hose into the garage so there's a constant stream of water for lubrication and to wash away and contaminants - if that doesn't get rid of the erroneous scratches then i don't know what else to do. I will be going over with 2,000, 2,500 in the same fashion, then using a different compound from Farecla, that specifically says its for removing 1,500+ scratches. If that doesn't work then i really have no clue and then i can only put it down to over soft paint. Certainly will never use this paint again, has caused me years of issues. Once i finish the front bumper, i will just wax the rest of the car (shell, rear bumper and boot) and then move onto checking the suspension stuff. I'll finish wet sanding when it's cold, i just wanted to do it now and get it out of the way before the paint gets contaminated.
Would like to make Ace Cafe this year before the season is up.
