Today was the day to attack the 240s paint work
So I…. 1. Rinsed 2. Snowfoamed 3. Rinsed 4. Clay bar 5. Rinse 6. Simple abrasion pad with cutting compound/polish 7. Rinsed 8. Polar seal ceramic spray 9. Rinsed 10. Hand buff While the paintwork has a few scratches, stone chips and small rust spots - the lustre of the paint does come through so nicely after that!! Pics JJ

Spent the weekend fettling
New HT Leads Then I set about adding the rear badges back on the car (they came with the car in a box of parts) Ran a line of tape across from the lower edge of each indicator lenses to get the right level Step back - check. Looked ok. Backed the badges in 3M double sided tape and trimmed Then lined up the badges and fixed What else did I do today…. Used some of the colour matched spray paint and a fine brush to touch up some of the stone chips and scratches and damaged door edges from sloppy previous owners!! Plus a scratch repair pen on the lighter ones Car is looking great Defo needs a new exhaust so looking at getting a full stainless system JJ

I do like a well-aligned badge. It's amazing how often you see a good quality (and very often professionally applied) paint job ruined by wonky badges!
cheers James
