Also just given mine a shampoo and wax... Although it started raining before I could buff it all off so might have to do it again tomorrow :( and I'm too short to reach the middle of the bonnet and windscreen :(
 
Finally got round to wiring in my Mazda rx8 drivers seat ( seat motions only ) don't need lumber support or heated seat :bounce:

if the paint has a bloom to it, let it harden for a couple of weeks and then try cutting it back with a couple of grades of polishing paste and a DA.

I had my rear diff rebuilt by James Martin today.

There's a few runs that need flattening and it could do with another coat. They're my jobs for tomorrow.

I got some polishing paste to flatten out the orange peel look later on.

Hard to tell from the pics as the paint is fresh, is that gloss or a satin finish? As I've found satin is a better finish as it hides small debts and imperfections and it polishes up quite well with a DA. Gloss, if there are too many dents ect is harder to make look good.
 
It's gloss. I've deliberately kept the bumps and dings. Mad I know but it's a Landy and it's never going to stay debt free.

I'm sure green laning will make sure if that [emoji12][emoji33]

I agree with that when i sprayed mine I kept a couple of dings to as it's not a Chelsea tractor.
 
Tried to find the knocking on mine. Found the a frame ball joint was loose yet it still had the split pin in the castleated nut. Tightened it up and put a new split pin in then went for a drive and its cured the knocking. Really need to get some extended arches so I can get the arches cut to stop the wheels fouling the arches when the axles come up level
