2002 Ford XR8 (Aussie)

[DaveXR8]

Hi all,



Had a new front lip fitted on the other day and thought Id give the exterior paint a hit with the rotor as it had hazing and swirls all over the car.

Here was the process:



2 bucket wash

Mothers california clay

Prima cut w/ LC white foam pad

Prima Amigo w/ LC grey foam pad

Wolfgang sealant



I also applied a new 3 step treament on the exterior door trims. This process is similar to working on paint. The first step removes any oxidaition and draws out the original black in the trim then as you go through the steps it gets more glossy.

Looks like a gto and a celica went at it, heh.



Great car though. Big ol' 5.4l if I'm recalling correctly.



Good job!

The Gto's in the US are callled Commodores (sedan) and Monaros (coupe) here.

They are the main rivals with my vehicle.

Battle of the V8s. hehehe...
