Started detailing.

After over 2 years of ownership have started removing a few tiny pock marks on the front by carefully filling mark with paint using the smallest thinnest art brush, waiting a week then blending in with a mild paste using a cloth tightened over the flat of a lolly stick! and finishing off with poorboys world blue polish and hey presto no more marks. Needs patience and not to overdo it for good results.
For front of sills up to the point they are not pock marked from the tyres just a rub down with very fine wet/dry paper and two or three coats of colour after blanking off the area, it really is straightforward and not hard. I've fitted front stone guards to prevent it happening again.
