The weird thing is the more you polish the car and allow more light to reflect off the more you will see the defects in the paint.
The trouble is I'm a perfectionist and cannot help myself. For £20 I think I'll give it a whirl, it did look a bit better after the clay and I do not lie when I say I have never seen it as bad as it was at Cosford, I was actually embarrassed. Even Jackie saw it then. In yet, I went to the bodyshop the other day for their advice and it was completely invisible I felt like a right muppet.
