It had just returned from a family holiday to the west country and so there was plenty of family fallout to keep me busy,especially with two small kids.
Unfortunately it had picked up some cat claw scratches and some scuff marks, where it looks like somebody had dragged something down the side of car /brushed against it, plus various other scratches and scuffs which we identified to be corrected.
So general clean-up, restore colour, shine to paint and spot correction, plus interior was the order of the day.
