Well, it'd make a difference. But the Front offside wing had been buffed to within an inch (micron) of its life, so now it has a rash of stonechips. Similarly the bonnet too. Then there is a dent on the nearside rear arch id like to be sorted, and both doors have rust starting where the mirrors rubs (common Focus problem - will modify the mirror with Dremel when off). Also the passenger door has some ripples as it had previously has seen filler and over time its lifted.

What I could do is use touchup pen on the rash, and then flat, buff and polish - but the remaining paint is so thin it really needs completely doing. Bonnet has plenty of paint on - so could do that there. Thing is I don't have any free time and im driving it a lot now, so it'll just collect more.

For now i'll just keep it clean, and if the day comes I have a garage to keep it in over night every night, it'll be made perfect again.... but that day may never come, not with this car anyway. I hate not having an immaculately clean car and right now it is hanging.
