    U-pol acid#8 and high#5

    I am doing some body work on my series III SWB - filling a hole and few dents and scratches using U-pol p40 for the hole and p38 for the dents and scrathes. As I am doing the bodywork on the entire vehicle little by little (have to work now and again) I am planning to leave the final spray...
