    This is Clarke's Ford Focus that had some really bad swirling so I gave him a hand to sort it out and have a bit of a laugh....

    So here goes...

    Clarke's focus on arrival, rain as per usual :wall:

    Ronnie covered the car with foam and left to dwell...

    The car was sprayed all over with tar remover, it wasn't long since it was last clayed so there was no need for it this time.

    Car was washed with 2 bucket method dried using sonus der wunder towels and drove into the garage for inspection.

    Loads of swirls!!

    Decided to use a 6" SFX white pad with menzerna FF, not 100% correction achieved but with no PTG I didn't want to risk going through the clearcoat!!

    Part corrected for comparison on the bonnet...

    As I went around with the PC Ronnie came behind me and done each panel with ***** HD clense to prep the paint for LSP...

    Clarke!!...

    Thanks for the comments guys!! we took about 5 hours to do this in total. Thanks for the comments.. Wolfpacker, the dressing is just some commercial tyre dressing put on with a paint brush and left to dry. Its good for the after pics and lasts for about 2 weeks.
