Default Corsa B paint restoration

Well had a corsa B to do today, weather was cooler than last week thankfully! The paint was faded and stained in places, few scratches here and there and can tell the previous owner has used a touch up pen in some places

Came up quite well to be honest

2 bucket method
Paint restorer
Polish
Wax
Bumpers, wheels, interior

Before





Paint restorer applied


After



HD Wax


Finished
