cheers for that wayne  just like to know other peeps opinons !!!
Adam u think a bodyshop can bring up the existing paint to match the arches,m3 mirrors,handles etc does that mean they got to respray the whole car as in sand it down or u mean something else....?

I'd use AutoGlym Paint renovator, but don't use too much or rub too hard cos its harsh stuff. Then i'd polish it with a good polish like Meguires, Zymol etc
