Over years of hand washing, swirls marks naturally appear, paint fades and the quality of the general appearance just reduces and this newly acquired Porsche Cayman was no exception. It’s at this time that Restore and Shine comes in to its own, great at lifting light marks, a few hours with a polishing machine leaves a perfect finish for Slippery When Wet.
We were asked to lift the original paint on this ’74 MG BGT recently from its dull Teal to a bright new level. After a wash with Bubbles and a dry down with our blue drying towel, the chosen weapon of choice was our trusty DAS Pro random machine, a medium Spider pad and a good helping of Restore and Shine compound and polish. Various areas responded differently but the overall finish was a complete surprise. When you have a vehicle this age you don’t really know its true paint history, little bits of panel work have different thicknesses and quality of paint, so the outcome is going to be a surprise however you look at it.
A few passes with Restore and Shine bought the majority up better than we thought and left us with a very happy customer.
The second photo was taken recently, the original 50/50 shot was taken about 2 years ago, and she’s still looking as good as new even though she hasn’t been washed since the polish and wax!
