Once engine bay was complete I turned my attention to the body work, with the car getting heavy track use it was covered in heavy tar and rubber so vehile was foamed twice before washing.

As the car is used on the track their was a build up of tar and rubber found throughout the exterior of the car so before claying I went around and removed the bulk of this tar using AS Tardis

Wheels were removed to fully clean the inners and remove the build up of tar and rubber. Once wheels were clean they were protected with Blackfire All Metal Sealant and tyres were treated with Zaino Z16
Arches were also given a good clean whilst the wheels were off

With the car clean and dry the paint work was then inspected and paint levels taken. General swirling was evident along with micro marring from a DA sanding disc .
Correction was carried out using Menz 203s on a polishing pad, some of the heavier sanding marks required Menz 3.02 to fully remove.

The black strips were vinyl so a gentle approach was taken to improve the swirling = menz 85rd and low RPM's which gave some great results
