That'll need wet sanding!
Who did the paint job? Did you not go back complaining of a poor job? Or was it pervious owner?

Friend of the family and I'm worse myself for not kicking up stink but I'm sure you understand. :/ Not going back to make it worse, lol. Don't mind paying if I know its going to look batter than it does now.

It's been a while since the car got some detailing so decided to do this yesterday..no before pics but wheels were pretty manky and the front was full of bugs from a recent trip to Belfast
Washed the wheels and de-ironed, scrubbed the tyres too. Then washed the car, de-tarred, rinsed, de-ironed, rinsed, clayed and rinsed again. Also clayed the windows too. This is what it looked like afterwards

Then applied polish by hand, some glaze afterwards and finally two coats of wax. Safe to say the paintwork felt like glass by the end of it!

It started to rain so decided to leave the car there and take the other M back home so as not to get mine dirty... Came back this morning and yes lots of beading

Products used minus the detar

Looks superb I picked that p40 polish up off Dave last week looking forward to trying it out , the ironx is great stuff but I can't figure out why it's cherry scented the smell is toxic lol

Awful small indeed! Yeah the p40 polish is great stuff alright - very easy to apply and buff out

Nice work Shane!

The Cherry scent actually taless the edge off it. Some fallout removers are terrible smelling.

I'd like to contribute to the beading gallery

Slightly off topic but how are you finding the R?
