The guy (with decades of experience) was not very nice about the paint. He said he saw evidence of numerous resprays all around the body, and the chrome was apparently coated with paint dust. He did say the end result is exceptionally good for such an old car.
My take is, the paint looks very nice and even, and the swirls and other scratches were considerably reduced. The guy did say it would risk the paint to buff it any further. My current gripes are pretty much limited to the chrome, which is pretty scratchy and rusted in places, and some dings here and there. But like I have said, since it's a DD, it doesn't have to be 100 % perfect.
In other news, I had this shipped over from England. James May would be proud. Now I just need to find the time to do the work.
What it is, is of course a leather restoration kit, with:
- Leather renovator
- Leather conditioner
- Degreaser
- Dye
- Gloss additive for Dye
- Accessories (towels, brush, "wunderbaum")
