http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0103.jpg

take you closer to see what I could see:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0105.jpg

and again:

Then all arches and alloys rinsed again, not surprising the dirt that came out:

Snowfoamed:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0118.jpg

after washing came the claying:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0120.jpg

followed by an open hose rinse:

and drying off:

Paint Depth readings:

Bonnet:

front wing: (that is 80.2!!!)

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0124.jpg

Passenger door:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0125.jpg

So we had a re-sprayed bonnet, roof and whole drivers side, orginal passenger side and back end, with the very low passenger front wing.

Test section:

Machined with a compound pad and Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0128.jpg

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0129.jpg

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0130.jpg

Not bad, so pushed on and hit the half bonnet:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0133.jpg

this time showing better results with the TSR being upped slightly to bite more:

Following pics are focused on the paint surface to show the quality of the finish from the machining with a compound pad:

Passenger door after first of three sections:

Drivers door:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0151.jpg

The follow up would be the PC, a 3m pad and dodo LP:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0154.jpg

[FinerDetails]

This was then topped with Raceglaze 55 wax. Whilst that was curing I applied wax to the alloys, and polished the glass:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0156.jpg

I then cleaned the tail pipes, before returning to buff the wax off the alloys:

And apply the tyre dressing which would be left to soak and dry:

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r272/finerdetails/SEAT%20Leon%20FR%20N/DSCF0158.jpg

It was then time to buff the raceglaze 55 off. I then took the following after pics, but have to say I'm a bit disappointed how some have turned out, they look dull for some reason.
