Bit of a buff. . .

Sick of the bad weather I scrapped the plan to put more clear coats on and just got on with it.
From now on I promise not to mention any of the following words: spraying, coats, clear or lacquer. Which might make reading this garbage a bit less dull.

Right, I got me sel some T-Cut type paste (for taking scratches out of cars) and started to buff the body.




I wasn't sure it would do anything to be honest but I was chuffed with the result, I guess its like sanding with really fine paper, I should have started with a low grade paper then worked me way up to get a shine but I couldn't be boshed to mess about so I went straight for this stuff. I spent about three or four hours in front of the tele one night and buffed seven shades out of it.

The shine before buffing:



The shine after buffing:



End result: A decent shine but the lack of clear lacquer coats that a sprayed will make it more likely to get bashed but I've made me peace with that.

Mate, that's actually a pretty impressive shine.
