hammer5 Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Ok my fingers are worn down to the bone with all the rubbing but the end result was worth the *cough* 7hrs non stop grind! I started with the autosol which just never shifted and ended up using the original T-Cut and a medium rough waxing mitten cut into smaller sizes to help agitate the rubbing compound.Pictures 12 to 15 show the before condition the 'freckles' are from an unknown source, came with the bike when i bought it 2nd hand. After.. The final result i am happy with and tomorrow i will lay on some carnuba wax and some Meguire's auto shine, so i will never have to scrub the thing ever again!BB Quote

hammer5 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 No idea what it was but it was very very hard to get off. (edit) i think he ran over something as the spray was all down the right hand side and underneath only.I just need to do the wheels now then blacken out all the black plastic and give it a good waxing followed with some season protection and jobs a good un! Should be ready for the 22nd! Quote
