Bit of a work in progress this fellas, in between the rotten weather and downpours 
Dont know if this is typical of all "striped" cars, but mine had quite a lot of fine scratches either side of the stripes where Renault have squeegeed the bubbles out etc.
And you can see in between the stripes the haze and fine scratches
Taping up the edges was a ball ache :lol:
Anyway, I'd washed the car outside and clayed the whole of the roof and bonnet with Sonus Green fine clay.
Washed to remove residue and rinsed and dried, the outlook seemed bleak so I rolled it into the garage.
Plenty of room to get all round.
Surface scratches were only very fine and after a bit of experimentation, Lake Country orange light cut/polishing pad with Lime Prime was giving good results.
Local areas adjacent to stripes were hit with Menz Power Finish and hand polished right up to the edges upon removing 3m tape.
In between stripes showed massive improvements in clarity and gloss.
And later this afternoon I had a spin out and it bloody threw it down.
Made for some nice beading shots though.
This was after 3 coats of Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett trigger sealant.
Sorry if there are a lot of pics
Nice long drive out in the morning, will probably wash it again Saturday morning and polish the rest of it.
