Another amazing "restoration" Phil. One question, I think it would be interesting for wash & wax forum people to know how much time is involved in a job like this, start to finish.

Very nice job, as a detailer/valeter myself i no the amount of work that went into the paint correction on the Rx7, did you have to wet sand those nasty scratches out ? have you used the scholl range yet ? the nano progressive breakdown is amazing, and the S17/30 is cracking for jeweling/burnishing if your wanting a mirco gloss look, what are your reviews on the Griots polishers ? iv got Festool rotary and the Megs G220 V2 DA iv used flex,dewalt,mikieta but found the festool and flex to be really good little over priced but cracking machines
Also you should give carpro IronX and Tardis a go mate i see youve used ironout iv found the ironX to be superior for decontaminating the paint
