Managed to give the corsa a good wash, polish and wax this morning before the rain starts. Took a good few hours but im happy with the results, shame its not going to last long but it has to be done!!

Has that been flatted back and polished since the respray yet?

That colour suits the GSi kit "look" well actually

After a respray you tend to wet sand back any small defects found in the lacquer, then machine polish the whole car.

I know you said you've polished it, but there's a fair difference between machine polishing a freshly painted finish to prep it properly, and just polishing it by hand

Looks shiny, was just wondering whether it'd been done yet as I remember you saying a couple of months back it needed doing.

Ah ok, sorry didn't realise it had changed hands! Speak to the previous owner who sprayed it would be best way to find out then!
