mopped

[Bristol Steve]

Hi guys, I have a metallic black 2007 but with stone chips, (motorway miles) bird strike and scratches, do you think by getting it mopped would be a good ideal,

Mopped ? No. You will probably need bits painting depending how bad the stone chips are. And its called paint correction not mopping.

Well thanks for that, I thought it was called Mopping,

Where abouts are you located ? Plenty of advice/detailing companies over on the detailingworld forums buddy.

Mopping/ compounding will help, will freshen up the paintwork and not make it look as tired.. As blacks usually do..

 

Will help get rid of small scratches and any marring present from cleaning etc.

 

If your willing to part with the cash then it would be better to get all the chips etc done. But if your just looking to make it look abit tidier then a mop over the car and a black felt tip for the stonechips will do the trick

as long as you dont strike through the laquer it will be fine, will make it a bit thinner but thats all. if your doing it yourself then be careful as its really soft and will leave holograms really easily
