Thanks Tom.

I think the hardest part of the job was making sure the car was really clean and trying to inject some life into the paint.

Nice work as always Maz - I wish I had the time to get out and give mine a good once over to this level but the weather is to poor/damp really to be machining and compounding outside.
How did you find the wet sanding? - Im still pretty new at this myself but generally find it easier to do on something like a 2000/3000grit trisac pad which gives more consistency and even pressure.

Liam.

Cheers Liam. Good to see you still got the Leon

I done wetsanding quite a few times now. I am ok with it but you got to know when the right time is to wetsand something and whether you will get enough gains from doing it. This is coming from a standpoint as to whether its a scratch, orange peel, bird etching or some weird defect. I am always cautious lets put it that way and make sure I got plenty of paint to work with.
