I would also be interested in what products/methods you used.

It does look very nice and shiny, I miss my steel grey!

 

 

 

Treat yourself to some nice shiny driving lights to finish it off :rolleyes:

Yes, need to get some driving lights! There's some rust on the sills which I need to sort out :blink:

 

Ok, rinsed with pressurewasher (meguiars NXT wash);

Then washed with the 2 bucket method again with NXT wash.

 

Polished with Autoglym Super Resin polish, stubborn areas / scratches treated with scratch-x.

 

Then gave it two coats with Collonite 915 wax;

After that it was the wheels, Autoglym bumper car / glass polish :rolleyes:

The only rust really is at either sill, you can see it's been filled before;

Not sure what the best way to sort this out is....

 

I WAS thinking, wire wall brush on a electric drill until down to bare metal, some sort of anti rust primer... fill it, primer again and then spray over.

 

Any tips, it needs to be sorted soon- i'm scared how bad it'll be once I start!!

Check out the Bilt-Hamber range for Anti-rust products. Everything I have tried of there's so far has been exceptional.
