-
It's not long at all for a full correction. It takes me up to 12 to do an enhancement.

there were areas on the car that didnt really need alot of attention, a few passes with #205 gave the desired finish. On the other hand the drivers side seemed to be worse of.
Also Truckie off of here done most of the interior for me and dresssed up the plastics leaving me to get on with the paintwork.
Does this help you make it a more believable?
Not that i feel your trying to have a go or anything
-
Looks like a good job dude.. Altho 10 hours for a full correction does seem a tad quick?! Mine ment to be getting a enhancement and that is going in for a couple of days... Im still learning more about detailing sothis thread had helped i need to get myself a machine polisher and get crackin me thinks!

If you need practise Micth, you know where my car it is too :happy2:
-
im sure i could make a mark on that beautiful paint work lol aint seen you for a while need to meet up n have a catch up
-
10 hours correction time was just a stab in the dark, it was spread over two day and didn't have my stopwatch handy so it may have taken longer. Plus with the help from truckie it cut the time down.
-
youve done a very good job in the time! :happy2:

haha, cheers mate. Fraser likes to be different from the norm. He's a top guy
-
10 hours isnt that quick.
I have had full correction using a pro polish (nothing fancy) on a rotary on a Peugeot 206 in under four hours.
The Merc AMG I did a while ago took about 9 hours to get full correction on the paint.
Just depends on the car and whether its paint is willing to work with you. At the same time.
The last BMW I did took over 14 hours to get full correction.

The paint just didn't seem to take that long to correct, I guess I had found a good combo with #105, #205 and a green gloss it pad. Thanks for the comments :happy2:
