    The owner 0f this contacted me and wanted some life bought back into the paint as he wasnt happy with the overall finish due to using the local £6 splash n dash crew on a regular basis.

    Upon cleaning the wheels it was noticed that all inners were in need of a refurb and brake hubs were badly rusted which was pointed out to the owner, which he was already aware of and said that he was currently searching for new wheels.

    No photos of the wash stages as we all know the routine.


    Some of the defects

    After trying several combos I ended up using Mez 3.02 on a 3m black polishing pad. Bumpers and all tight areas were done with a sonus 4in spot pads

    After all correction work was done I called it a day and returned the following morning to give the vehicle a wash to remove any settled dust from sitting overnight before refining the finish with Menz 85rd on a Megs Finishing pad.

    Vehicle was then given a IPA wipe down in preparation for 3 coats of Zaino z2 and a final wipe over with Z8

    Nice looking Monaro! I'm surprised that the wheels are already rusting though, shabby quality...
