Hang on. He has just produceded transparent aluminium (as seen in the various Star Trek films, but highlighted in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)!

And on that note, they can now produce transparent wood. Watch where yo walk in the forest.

Well, Terry Pratchett came up with Sapient Pearwood. Anything made from it would follow its owner anywhere (and I do mean anywhere! In 'Eric' the 'Luggage' followed Rincewind into Hell, and the denizens ended up wishing it hadn't!). A forest of Sapient Pear trees might decide to up sticks and wander off somewhere else.

Well there you go....You do ONE thing and then you have to do more !

So, after a good polish and a lot of self congratulations on "how good it is looking" ! I have had a sadness sweep over me as I realised the "orange peel" in the paint was REALLY PI%%ING ME OFF" !!!!!


So wet sand it is then .......GOD !...will I never learn !!!!!!!!! (this is a first time for me !)





I have to get a new pad and foam compound tomorrow for the final polishing stages.......

I have been using 1500 and 2500 paper & bLOTS of water/soap FYI

[Stickyfinger]

Done, wet sanded a 2nd tine with 3000W&D, machined and polished.

Wow!!!

[daviemck2006]

That's amazing! I wonder if it would work on the scratches on my roof? Worth a try I suppose, if it didn't work it really needs painting anyway.

Mirror, mirror on the wall who's got the shiniest Activa of all?

That shine is amazing Alasdair Well done!

[Stickyfinger]

Wax (1st layer) on.

I have bubble wrap stored in the roof....

[Stickyfinger]

So, now the bonnet shows the problems on the other panels.....WHY DO I even START these jobs !....agggggg

Now the roof gets the wet sanding treatment, you can see the "peel effect" at the unfinished edges.


The edges are finished (to the tape), when both sides of the roof are done I will remove the tape and finish-out the edges by hand before polishing with the machine.

[CitroJim]

When can I book mine in for the same treatment Alasdair?

@ Hell & Hades Ltd

[Stickyfinger]

Polishing stage (still a load to do to the edges) on the roof.

[CitroJim]

You could shave in that reflection!!!
