Gave Nicks GTS a spruce up today. It got Menzerna power finish on a blue edge polishing pad followed by Dodo lime prime on a black festool finessing waffle. The bonnet got 3 stages with the first being intensive polish on a yellow edge cutting pad. Drivers guard got nothing as there was some paint issues that wouldnt appreciate me agrovating them. Wax was Dodo Supernatural.

Anyway Pics. They are average as lighting was average lol

Thanks mate ... 50,000 kms and she still looks like new.

:D

re; the front guard comment. The clear coat is lifting in about 10 spots, the guard was resprayed almost 2 years ago (the car was about 2 months old) and it had paintless dent removal for hail damage about 12 months ago. Speaking with the smash repair place yesterday they suspect the paint they used has cracked the shits when being heated for the dent removal ... the factory paint is fine.

:cry:

So ... off to the smash repairer next week to see how this gets fixed up.
