Does look very shiney in person lol but will give it a few days to go hard then wet and dry it with some 1200 to get a better even shine.

End result just wet and dry then polish?

Good job :)

Cheers, and yeah 1500 i used only wet though, rub it over you'll see the orange peel disapear will go a bit cloudy, then i polished with t,cut then autoglyn super resin polish ;) make sure the paint has gone hard to test see if your finger prints wipe off lol. In this heat i only left them for an hour.

You desperately need that repaint like I do mate lol

The front bumper I would of left alone (no black painted bits then primer) Mirrors came out well from the wet flat and polish though !

This isn't a Cupra R though ??
