johnakay Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 the paint work leave a lot to be desired. the matt black could get it cleaned up. god knows what the original owners did. 3 owners and only 5,000 miles on the clock. I have all the MOT's so mileage is correct. anyway pictures before and after.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWithStyles Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Cleaning and treating matt paint/lacquer to look right after it has left the factory is not just the use of normal washing up liquid route. its quite soft so its easy for even a very mild cleaner to affect it, let alone bugs, tar, road and bird shite just to name a few... then people just put any old wax on it....

RideWithStyles Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Yeah Previous owners assumed that how youd clean it but different finishes require dtreating differently, that is what whappens if you dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
