Had my roof down all day today. Weathers been gorgeous again in the South East.

Went to have a browse at some nice Italian metal...ended up putting a deposit down on a fast alfa for the missus 8) hopefully pick it up next week.

Nah, we need at least 1 practical car in the family :lol: she's gone for a Giulietta. Nice car and more power than her Fiesta ST, so hopefully she won't get bored easily :driving:

Nice work. Always been too scared to try it. Have a small but deepish scratch on the rear bumper
It was my 1st attempt at wet sanding so I used 7000 grit which came out easier than I expected

Tried the DA out on the boot lid and rear wings. All swirl marks removed. Also gave it ago on the headlights and they came up a treat.

Then went out so a spin with the wife with the roof down but after 15mins up it came again because of the rain. Car now all dirty again :cry:
