Corsa restoration

[calypso]

My sister is selling her car, it looks like shit so she asked for my help to make it a little more presentable. Its about 18 months old and looks like it was occasionally cleaned with a scourer + VIM. Also as far as i know, the car is used as a chew toy for her 2 large dogs.

Im calling this a restoration firstly because I've never had a paint put up such a fight. Also i was not looking for 90% or even 80% correction, just trying to clean it up to make it more presentable.

Here is the car, after a CWG strong wash and clay with claymagic mild with adams detail spray.

Lovely how photography makes teh car look half decent.

What made me feel a little better was that the car was made half plastic

Oeff but my poor black wow.

Anyways these are the swirls/RIDS that were on hand.






Took alot of experimenting to get something that worked consitently. Ended up with the LCC cutting pad and Menz SIP followed up by the Menz FF on the Black finessing pad.
Which ended up with things looking like this.



Not perfect, but alot better. As you can see even with wetsanding it didnt help they keying much.

Just about finished the Menz SIP all around and will finish of the FF tomorrow. LSP is going to be something cheap and nasty as its not like the car is ever cared for.
