This Ford Fiesta XR4 booked in for an enhancement package (Stage 1 paint correction, Interior and engine bay). The paint needed decontamination desperately (Iron, Tar and decontamination cloth). The minor swirl marks were removed with 203s/106 on white pad which returned the deep white colour. Several spots were also touched up around the body.

Look at all of the Iron spots!
