3.0CSA Wet sanded + Polish well worth the effort

The brother in law and I have spent 3 nights sanding and polishing.

It was a good paint job but with some orange peel.

Amazed at the results.

Looks incredible, worth the effort. FYI Zymöl makes a red wax that does a great job at making red really pop.

Thanks guys. Cant wait to get it out there but too much crap on the road at the moment.

150bhp dyno after the 123 ignition install so looking forward to see how it drives now.

car looks great, whereabouts are you in the UK ??

I have a saab with a similar colour scheme to your 'before' picture so can you tell me what grade paper you used and just briefly the process as I may give this a go.

I have an added issue of flaking laquer but sanding it off may be the answer.

thanks
