I took very little pictures of the process as I just wanted to get on with it. It's exhausting work. I will be doing a little photo shoot of my car soon so you can see it then!

Makes a massive difference.

The bonnet and front bumper are the worse. So many stone chips and on the front bumper, lots of scuffs and also areas where the paint just looks flat and dull that a machine polisher made no difference. In an ideal world, the front end needs resprayed but it's not going to happen. It's my daily workhorse. I like the fact that looking at my car, you can tell it's done a lot of miles and is used how it should be. 211k and counting and it certainly looks like it!
