After what has seemed an eternity I have finished working on my car paintwork. A combination of foul weather and having no access to an indoor work area meant that the polishing/correction stage took about a month and a half. Its ended up as something I'm very happy with. Its not concours perfect by any stretch but all the major swirls are gone.

After the final section was polished and having removed all traces of LSP from the rest of the car I applied a full treatment of Gtechniq C1 to the paintwork. This was a bit of a learning experience but thats another story. Having let the C1 cure overnight it was another quick wash and then an application of Gtechniq c1.5 Silo seal. This was a joy to apply to the paintwork, trim, and alloys.

I even had a stab at cleaning the engine bay (a first for me) as I felt after that much effort it would be remiss to leave it out. This got a good scrub with Gunk and APC before a coat of C1.5 (shows what a versatile product it is)

Only problem I have now is that the C1 should last for at least 2 years. So the only car i have to work on now is the wifes! :think:

Great work

C1 can be very awkward to work with..Youve done well

Looking good.

Makes me wish my new Corrida Red vrs was with me now..

Cheers for the replies. Yeah the C1 was a bit of a pain as it started to crystalise on the MFs on a couple of occasions. :think:

Corrida Red is a great colour IMO. With the right products I think it looks incredibly "wet", something that you don't get as easily with a metallic flake.

Looks great you,ve done a good job there

Nice job

I do really like red as a colour option and the work you've done looks great. One day I'll get round to cleaning up the engine bay but sometimes the older Fellys don't scrub up as well. Spot on mate

Engine bay turned out to be the easiest part. Using a bit of common sense and some tin foil wrapped around certain parts it was a surprisingly painless job. The Gunk degreaser and Megs APC did most of the hard work for me.

Great results O.B-B, stunning finish. Worth all the hard work! You'll be dying to get to grips with the car after 2 years, I'm sure the G-tech will last that long, but the question is will you?

Probably not.
