    Abit of wetsanding to blend some paint into the stonechips, these polishing steps are all afer the initial stage so a further pass was done then refined from there:

    Old polish residue was also removed from the decals:

    Once all the polishing was completed the car was then wiped down also to check no micro marring was left and the finish was ready for gtechniq

    Also checked it with 3 different light sources, onto the gtechniq:

    The lights were removed before any polishing but also helps get everything coated with the coating:

    Nice bit of flake evident:

    The engine was dressed up, interior cleaned inc boot, tyres dressed arches etc didn't get any pictures of these stages as I was extremely close to the deadline, these shots were taken with Keiron here just before him leavng:
