Spent a couple of hours today rubbing down and polishing which hopefully will be complete by monday/tuesday next week.

Below is images of the steps taken to achieve a good finish.

Painted surface before any flattening has been done. The hump on the right has been flattened and polish which shows in the finish.

Painted surface flattened with 1500 grit and plenty of water. I've found that once the initial flattening is complete squeegee the water/paint residue off then shine a bright light on to the surface which reveals any further defects in the paint i.e. dust particles under the paint which have not been removed then go over the defects again with 1500 wet and dry, squeegee and re check.

G3 polishing compound applied with a mist of water.

Mop polished with G3 compound, again the use of a bright light shows any rough scratches which if present i mop over again with G3.

Once the whole body has been polished with G3 i will clean the whole surface again before mopping with G10 finishing compound to remove any fine scratches.


Well that's it for now see you all soon.
