It is a possibility briang9, might even have a mini meet at my place and use the rotary polisher.
Here is another one that I was compelled to wet & dry
This is my S-Class which I have owned for 7 or 8 years now. About 4 years ago I had to have the usual MB rot sorted out and as it was a warranty job MB sent the car to Evans Halshaw in Glasgow to do the work. (incidentally Evans Halshaw is part of M-B Glasgow which is part of the Pendragon Group) (yes you also smell that rat)
Well the car went into EH for the work and when it came out I almost cried at the mess they had made of it. The only saving grace was the paint was thick enough to seriously cut back and polish up to a reasonable standard
This is typical of the standard of work Evans Halshaw paint shops produce
Cutting back with the W&D taking it easy as you don't want to go through the clearcoat
Then the process of bringing the paint back to life starts
Once you reach a point in which you are happy and the end results shine through
This was the bonnet before the repaint, not showing in this image are hundreds of stone chips, but the shine had a lot of depth and gloss to it
and the mess EH made...dull no shine and almost dead looking
This was a tense moment for me, I had never cut back this far before
WHen I told my mate wat I had done he told me to go and see a psychiatrist and have my head examined
Taking my time with the cutting paste until the shine started to return
