So would I, but I doubt mr wilks minds! It must help with the price.

You’ll get it sorted Andy, it’ll take some elbow grease that’s for sure, looking forward to seeing some before and after pics

So 2 weeks with the car & its coming round to how it should be .
Its been quite a task getting on top of it & still have a list of "to dos" along with service & MOT next month .
Front bumper will be getting repainted & the steering wheel covers need removing & refurbing , otherwise its just been a mammoth clean + polish job .
Look away now if you have a dodgy stomach , this was the clay after one door panel

yeah really

used almost a full bar for the whole car but very rewarding to see & feel the paint afterwards

Oh wow

that’s shocking why oh why would the seller not sort this even to a small degree I would be embarrassed to even let it get like that never mind sell it like that disgraceful behaviour.But anyway enjoy putting her right as you say nothing like polishing a turd

to revile a diamond

That clay is appalling! I dont think I've ever seen one quite that bad, especially from one panel. Did you use Iron X type stuff first as well?
Another zed turned around by Mr Wilks, it does just go to show what a little bit of elbow grease, the right products/knowledge can achieve.

Just the best thing you could add to a S54 ( other than a CSL airbox)
The amplified induction roar is totally addictive

Congratulations!

From the state of the clay I hope that you didn't think you were buying a black Zed!

Good job on the cleaning - looks great in the last two pics.

Too true, I think it's amazing but I do remember reading on here that another owner didn't like it.

Your clay bar is like the one after I did my M Class tow car for the first time since buying it. After the passenger door.
