TurboTobz Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Started working on my rocker cover went a bit mad now I'm not so sure, will have to complete it before I know if I've gone too far:Needs a few more hours perfecting before my next steps! Quote
Banbury Glanza Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 What did you use to get it to that stage mate. Quote
TurboTobz Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Removed some more clutter from the bay: Quote
TurboTobz Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Deglazed the headlights and indicators, used greygate plastic polish, used by the fire services to polish visors! Insides still need doing as they still have a greedy brown tinge inside, failing that I'll get a buffer on them. Quote
TurboTobz Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Banbury I used a polishing pad for a grinder it's like a layered surface of over lapping sand paper. Quote

Dave D Glanza V Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Nice like the vinyl wrap whats it like to live with do you polish it the same as paint? Quote
TurboTobz Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 It's good if I damage the side of the car it'll cost me around £100 to have it replaced. Its very easy to clean, you can polish it although there's not a massive need to but I always do, it shines lovely after! You just use wax not compound polish's. Water beads on it lovely, no one can tell its vinyl. Looks mint IMO! Quote
Dave D Glanza V Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Sweet sounds perfect! probaly doesnt stone chip easy either? Wish I had done this now instead of a respray :-( Quote
