He [Mark] came to mine. Booked it a couple of months before and then he reconfirms a day or two before the booking to check the weather. Fed and watered him generously throughout the day and popped out now and then to check the progress and learn about what stage he was up to.

He measured the paint at approx. 70-80 microns thick in most places and didn't go too mad with the cutting and polishing because of this and the fact it's almost 15 year old paint. I remember my BMW's was around 100 microns and even 300 microns thick on the front bumper which suggests that it had been resprayed at some point in its life.
