The sparkling graphite colour is a nice metallic grey. Unfortunately it had become a little flat over the years


Befores and afters. The paint was corrected in two stages and received Opti-Coat Pro+ Bonnet

It's not hard to see how much clarity and gloss was robbed out of the paint by the swirls and hazing



Roof




Quarters



Doors



B Pillars. These were quite heavily damaged so not everything was able to be corrected out




The trims were also quite badly weathered and stained over time by polish and wax residue. These were cleaned up as best as possible.v


As were the wipers



Final result

Rear wiper

Rubber trims around the doors also had a fair amount of weathering

Panel gaps too had years of polish/wax residue caught in them.
