Just Gave My Is300 A Good Going Over..... Pic Heavy


Recommended Posts

Well my car came back from the bodywork shop today and they did a really good job. Apparently the car had a wash after the work was done. Hmmm, certainly wasn't to my standards lol! So bought her back and spent all afternoon giving her some attention....

Apologies for pic quality, light was disappearing fast and they were taken on my phone.

Got the DA polisher out to get a deep finish on the paintwork. Left side hasn't been polished and the right side has. It's hard to tell the difference in the photo as it was still holding up well from the last time I polished it a month or so ago.

One thing that was starting to irritate me was the headlights. They were starting to turn yellow and faded. So a quick polish with some Autosmart Evo 3 and To me it's a lot better :-)

Before: the photo doesn't pic up the discolouration very well...

Lovely results bud, same colour as the one I pick up tomorrow so it's good to see what can be achieved with it! See your an Autosmart fan - love G101 it's so versatile! Just ordered some Auto Finesse gear to try as people seem to say good things about it.

It would be interesting to know how you get on with the Auto Finesse gear. Perhaps you might give us an update when you get the chance Good luck with your new wheels!

Cracking job Martin.

With the evo3 on the headlights, was that with the DA polisher or old fashioned elbow grease?

Does anyone know whether the Evo3 works as well without the DA polisher?

Hoodrich, unfortunatly Ridgers sold his 300 a few months ago for a silly low price I might add and hasn't been active since.

He was a good member!! Come back Ridgers!!!!

Thanks for the info Chris. Wish it was me that bought his 300.
