CharlieN Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I have a white fiesta zetec s mk7 2010. Since I’ve had it the bonnet is a really strange feeling, like it needed a good polish. I have tried everything from white t-cut, to polish. But it still seems like a matte finish. One section of the bonnet is fine and gloss white, but the rest is like I’ve said. Any help???

WES180 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Has it been resprayed to a poor standard in that area? Is there any overspray along the top edges of the wings or slam panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no signs of overspray and also underneath it looks like the factory bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It probably has had a smart repair done in the past. I had a door like this on my Focus. No amount of polishing would bring any depth out and it always felt a bit rough. You could try mopping the whole bonnet in case it's only flat lacquer.

isetta Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I reckon it's a poor repair job. you are probably lucky it's white and not a metallic colour where the quality difference would show more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no signs of a respray job being done. But yeh it’s white so it doesn’t show up as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig26283 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Maybe it's been too polished in the past and removed or damaged the laquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking about getting it resprayed or finding a new bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
