Been a combination of forward progress and regression the last couple of weeks. Found this UBeaut polishing compound in the finishing cupboard and thought it might be perfect for the job...turns out it wasn't. Tried by hand in tiny sections and also with a cordless buffer and just couldn't get much beyond 'cloudy'.
After quite a bit of degreaser being wiped on and off I managed to get most of the ubeaut stuff off, put in an order for some car cut and polish and figured I'll have time to sand back, paint and sand back again before applying polish.
Mustn't have got ALL the 'polish' off as there's still a little cloud present around the horns of the body. Sanded back with 2000 and busted out the auto cut and polish. This was another learning experience - I'm glad I wasn't learning on the car as I'd a been particularly miffed! Still managed to introduce scratches with the cut and polish.
Time for a 'goal refresh' - pivot from 'showroom' to 'partial relic' finish and bank the learning experience.
