cheers guys!!
used a sander with a polishing pad on it from maguires then some of the swirl remover 2.0
before this we wet and dryed the full car with 2500.... like flatting the piant then added g10 washed it, dryed it and and used the swirl remover
pictures dont do it justice its like glass no swirl marks what so ever!
so a big thanks to the father in law as well

*** MINI UPDATE****
fitted the loom on the engine to day
re fitted the egr valve waiting for blanking plate
better then rusty
now the problem
engine loom has this been told it is the injector feed this loom was taking from a zafira
car loom taking from a vectra with the purple fuel relay in the engine bay
is it a case of chopping plugs and wireing these wires together ????
thanks
Dad also is restoring this in his spare time:
ford mk1 escort
2.0L pinto turbo
