This morning I got a call to go and do a Polo 6N. Upon arrival I was shocked to see in what poor condition the paint was. The paint on the bumpers were cracking and in some spots the paint was completely stripped off :eek: The paint on the car was also in a state due to bumps against I don't know what really :oops:. I advised the owner to take the car for a proper respray rather but they insisted that I give it a go and see what I can do with the paint. Because of the condition I decided to use the Cyclo polish I got with the machine and ditched the Menzerna. First step consisted of Cyclo Chrome-Brite and for my 2nd step I used Cyclo Hi-Lites. Sadly I didn't take alot of pictures as the red wasn't working nicely with my Galaxy Note2 camera

50/50 Shots after 1 pass of Chrome-Brite

All the haziness were removed and the red shines alot brighter than before but I would still say the car need a respray with the poor paint condition it has. I tried my best to work the cracked paint as little as possible to not damage it any further

Edit - I check even the reflections on the car looks like sh!t with my phone camera
