The Ten Year old Tickford gets glared

[SVR]

OK shots of my 1998 Ford AU XR6 VCT 250 ish Ci Straight six cylinder falcon sedan after glare zero, knockout, micro finish, spider, pro polish and 2 x pro polish to seal the paint



Remember - this is ten year old factory paint (PPG baked enamel) with average orange peel amount

End result - richer colour, reflections are now in focus, orange peel buried a little more by the coating



Depth of finish (above the colour coats) by my eyes looks to be about 4 mm (i'll keep working on that)



P.S. The top spoiler is unpainted fibreglass resin, I treated it with trim dream and glare pro polish by rotary two years ago

Not bad for an originally grey spoiler with no reflection at all

Plus - done the rear quarter panels with Clay, Reflow (my polishing prep product), Menzerna 106 with green LC, Micro, Spider and Pro Polish x 2 coats

(menz got that out)

The car itself

1300 cars made in total (probably 200 have that full tickford kit)



Video - bonnet is now even better since that was taken

Thanks frito and porta, I know that Glare gives everyone a bad feeling and it's definately not the be all of polishing but my car seems to love it and nothing else sharpens the reflected images like the Glare does
