Looking good Andy, is the rear inner lights red as standard instead of the 50/50 red white, looks better all red
No the inner lights have a red film over over them on the white part.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to tackle the car as often as I used to due to a combination of moving and new job plus have no access to a tap at my new place so washing car is a lot more difficult. Only washed it twice in last 3 months which is very little for me.
A few weeks ago I ordered some paint from paints4u to tackle some scratches on the cars as shown in mackers thread. Order arrives on the Friday, get talking to the uncle the next day asking for advice on tackling paint rust spots, got the colour codes and order another 3 tins of paint from paints4u. Went to the uncles the following week to tackle the car, perfect time to pick up a few bits in halfrauds, clay mitt sandpaper and lacquer.
Thank god for the clay mitt, saved me easily 2hrs. [emoji12]The car in question was a '04 voyager, not a small car, closer to a transit than a car. In the space of 6hrs, managed to wash the voyager and a golf, sand down the rust spots, treat with krust and single stage polish the voyager (minus rear bumper, beneath side trim and roof). I then cleaned out the stone chips and applied paint.
The following day I checked if the paint had cured which it hadn't so will tackle these bits again at a later date. Also have to tackle the wheels and tar covered lower doors and the other car, a 09 golf
Saved yourself 5 hours? Dont know what way you are claying with a clay bar; even if it was a Transit, it should only take 2 hours!
Also, you say you have to tackle the car on the lower doors....did you clay the car before removing the tar? Perhaps the reason claying with the clay bar is taking so long is that you havent help the decontamination process by using a fall out remover and tar remover first....if you use both of these, claying a car should really only take an hour, max! Perhaps the clay mitt isnt removing as much as it should either, if you are getting it done so quickly?
Anyways, fair play on tackling the paintwork - get some pics up when you get it done! ;)
