    I don't doubt it, I was happy enough with it behind red-ish, anything but the dreaded pink. Still, my efforts dropped a fair bit towards the end of my ownership which probably had a large hand in that lmao

    red is a bastard, mop it with 3m fine cutting compound or g3, 2 weeks later in the sun it fades!

    Hi,

    i can do it for you for approx £100,

    That is paintwork corrected, polished, Sealed, Waxed

    I can email you with pictures they are quite impressive

    It is quite labour intensive but i get a kick out of the transformation!

    Enjoy

    you can only mop a car so many times, and it isnt always the answer

    nor can you repair paint damage, no matter how much of that awful stuff, t-cut you use

    to add, £25 for mopping? its obviously not very good, a decent bodyshop would charge between 200 to 300 on a full days mopping, the bodyshop i use do and theyre one of the best in the country

    lastly, all cutting compound does is take away the sharpe edges of scratches (same method as mopping but cheaper)

    sorry if this post seems harsh

    at the end of the day, we all know one thing, and thats, you pay for quality

    as some of you know, most places will charge on an hourly rate, the bodyshop i use, the hourly rate is £30 per hour, and they will spend about 10 hours on your car to make it gleaming like glass...

    Very true.

    But 10hours? I'd have been killed if i spend that long machine a car when i worked at the bodyshop.
