R26.R - Nurburgring & Spa 2015
liver:
Hiya everyone
A friend very kindly offered me the use of his bodyshop during the Christmas period. This desperately needed after I had a little miss hap with a new clay bar which left the paint work on my R26R looking very sorry for itself as you can see below
I took taping the car to the extreme as I didn't want to mess around and used as much from the bodyshop as I could.
A few more before pictures under light
these are some pictures from polishing stages, I used a two stage polishing approach and was really happy with the outcome
here are some pics of the car in the bodyshop during the process
this was the first time outside before I re-washed the car to remove the dust
These are the final outside pictures

I'm going mad, I'm sure I've seen this before :rolleye: You did an excellent job there... what happened with the Clay bar, not enough detailing spray?
Must be nice to have all that indoor area to work on it. :party:
liver:
haha your not, I posted it in the detailing section as well but thought id keep this thread upto date as well
I think the clay bar was just too aggressive for the paint and hence all the maring and defects
I always use plenty of lube when detailing especially when claying to avoid any problems.
yeah it made a massive difference compared to the drive I usually use at home, was nice to be inside and cover it up inbetween

a couple of beading shots from last night
