just finished a cut and polish on my once faded/surface rusted exterior, and it turned out awesomely. exterior colour (in general) now looks the same as the colour in the inside of the boot, which I'm happy about. It'll be gettin a respray eventually, as it still need s a fair bit of body work. i also spray and wiped the interior (Door trims & Seats) and theyve come up pretty nicely. AND THE RADIO WORKS! turns out dad didnt even have the thing turned on.
Cheers, RIM

Pics Coming Soon. I used Mr Muscle on the interior, and "RE-PO Water Rubbing Compound" (By CRC) on the paint. It's pretty heavy stuff, it took the top layer of paint off, but it came up pretty well. the car needs a respray, this is just a bandaid till that happens.

She's booked in for a Panel & Paint job in the relatively near future.
I'm happy with the result of the C&P, and of course the spray and wiped interior.

Umm, Sorry to point out the oobvious keithy, but it IS a nice interior. All ive done to it is clean the drivers seat and door trim.
everything in it works (except the fuel guage) and im very happy with it. Even the original radio works! Also, apparently the car had never seen the inside of a shed until i got it. there's a little bit of sunburn across the top of the back seat, but thats about it.

Good work!
Looks 300% better already!
Can I recommend Repo extra cut on the dent and maybe a touch up pen for the rear quarter?
There is less work in yours than there is in mine
