swordfish210 20 Posted October 17, 2007 G3 is quite a good paint restorer and so is Meguiars Scratch-X (i think that what it's called) a good Mop is ideal for restoring paint as well cause it takes a lot of the effort out of it. I wouldnt take my word alone for it though cause i dont really give a flying jaffy about my paint work and i tend to not polish the car at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugman211 0 Posted October 21, 2007 G3 polish, Machine polish Both with buffer and mop Than get good Carnuba wax and give it 2 - 3 coats. Sorted! Just dont do it in the cold or in direct sunlight otherwise you will burn the paint Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2haz 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Would that process sort out the paint on this bonnet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugman211 0 Posted October 21, 2007 quite possibly, the only bit that worries me is the big patches towards the rear of the bonnet., if your gonna do it, make sure you soak the bonnet in water first, as this will help with the buffing, then go over it with the G3 polish. You should be able to tell pretty soon if it will work, and if it doesn't, then its only a quick flash over of the bonnet then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
