    Another wrapping session...

    Decided to get the clocks out of the car today to give them a bit of TLC, the screens were quite badly scratched so I gave them a polish and while they were in pieces, I thought I'd try something out that I'd been thinking about previously

    You can see below they were quite scratched...









    Stripped them down and wet sanded the lenses...



    Broke out the Menzerna Power Gloss and applied to the lenses...





    Polished them with the DA on a medium speed using a combination of 3M cutting and polishing pads...



    Big improvement...





    Finished off with some Scholl S40 and a 3M finishing pad...





    Then decided to have a go at doing some more wrapping...



    Gave the fascia a good clean with IPA and then applied some black carbon fibre vinyl...





    Nearly done, just the indicator arrows to do...











    And reassembled and fitted... (will take better pictures during daylight hours)





    All done...



    And finally added my lacquered door pulls...



    Comments welcome as always

    Cheers Ad, actually not that hard to do, use a decent heat source to mould it and a sharp blade, I used a craft scalpel and then it's just patience and perseverance
