Assisting Grumpy

[billz]

Well today is the day me and Grumpy have a bash at rectifying his paint work.
We have just washed the bonnet with faiy liquid and i have just shown him how to clay.

After this we will start the polishing process.

Hey @billz are you using faiy liquid as a degreaser?

 

[Grumps]

What is masking for?

So you don't damage the edges with the polisher and for working in sections so it's easier to see where you've been.

Hey @billz are you using faiy liquid as a degreaser?

Yes mate

 

[Grumps]

Busy boy!

 

[billz]

I think we have arrived at the problem. There are different depths within the same panel as though the panel has been painted in 1 coat then another coat added but not to the whole panel. I am getting readings of 380 microns down to 160 on the same panel

 

[billz]

Grumpy hard at work.

Try using a clay mitt lots easier for beginners but I still use lube even though they say u don't really need too.
Hope that helps.
