Cheers mate! Always a shock when someone comments on an old vlog!

'Wow Nano Sponge' We live in Thailand, so these sponges, may not be available in UK. They feel like a fairly dense sponge, and are great for their purpose of cleaning dishes, but in fact they are the equivalent of a 3000 grit paper. I tried it on a small patch of paintwork, and it did indeed take off the top layer. The benefit of this type of sponge, is that you can get the sponge as wet or dry as you like. Thanks for the video and 'natter', look forward to the next one. Stay safe during your lockdown !

Hello matey. It's a long time since I did it but I'm sure the processes are still the same.

I believe the ones that hang off the ceiling are stalactites - I remember once being told its because tights should come down... ;)

35 years In the car repair trade we used to use Farecla G3 then finer cutting polish, bird sxxt was a bad one, modern two pack not much touches it. Regards Kevin

I'm trying to remember what we used as the cutting polish. It was white and very liquid. I worked in the rectification area at LDV vans so all our repairs were minor as they were brand new vehicles straight off the production line. Most of the time it was dirt nibs or craters or perhaps where a spray hose had made contact with the wet paint. Our superfine 1500 grade were like little daisy discs that were about the size of a 2p coin.

Hi guys... that was very interesting mate... appreciate the tip... I have used grinding paste before as used to resurface car engine valves by hand back in those days... using first brass polish and then silver polish can also bring back a shine as they are both abrasive products... thanks for sharing... take care and keep safe... until the next one...

Never tried the grinding paste idea but yes it's the same principle. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Always appreciated.

Just go steady. Keep it as light as possible. Go as fine as you can get away with. Then polish the gloss level back.

Yet another fantastic video, well done and thanks. This was absolutely informative, and of course educational. I expect where paint has lost some of its pigmentation then a repaint will be necessary?

Generally yes but sometimes you can bring a little more depth of colour back by a gentle Tcut. A little clear lacquer coat over a dull area may buy you a little time too, but it's only temporary.
