Hi,

Spent the last couple of days over at WIM removing swirls and areas of pink on Tony's Esprit.

Tony's love for the car is clear to see and equally i can see why, it really is stunning!

No detailed write up, but in simple terms the following stages were carried out..

No wash or clay required as Tony had already done this.
Stage 1 machine polish using the makita rotary and Menzerna 106fa polish
Meguiars No.7 show car glaze applied by hand
1 application of Victoria Concourse wax
External trim protected
Sealant applied to wheels, tyres dressed
Exhaust polished
Final wipe down with Last Touch


Here are the finished pics Smile

That's impressive for paint on fibreglass that's 19 years old.

IS 200 Sport with a few mods, Standardish IS-F. The IS250 SE-L with a few mods has gone to a new home.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

I know how much Tony likes his car, so to give it a good once over Christian, I am sure Tony now love it more than the day he bought it.

Nice one

The fibreglass is also impressive for a Lotus:thumbup1:

"Life's goal is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body. But, rather to skid in sideways........
totally worn out and broken, shouting 'Holy ****, WHAT A RIDE!'"
