Three Stage Polish

Whilst my paint man was doing my wheels I also got him to do a 3 stage machine polish. As we all know black paintwork can be a bar steward for marks etc, well check this out





The pics don't really do it justice, but this kind of shows it good
(Sorry about the ugly bloke in the reflection)



It looks the bowlox !!

WOW!! That is seriously nice work. I can't believe the reflection in the last picture. I take it, all the swirls have been eradicated fully.

I will ask the question tomorrow, as to what sort of money you'd be likely to pay. I've not asked, see, I just said sort the wheels & while your at it polish the car. This guy paints all my bike stuff, so it kind of 'gets lost' in the invoices, if you catch my drift.

Ahh gotcha, don't worry too much, was just curious! I've got a long list of other things to spend my cash on anyway

Yeh, all that plus window rubbers, door handles etc. it's not cheap but it took best part of two full days, so you can kind of see where the cost comes in. I'm well happy, best it's ever looked.

Bargain then!
I'd not want to, or be able to do it.
