Yeah... my nice shiny new Getz got caught in that massive hailstorm a couple years ago and hasn't been the same since. I tried RP7, Acetone, and soaking it in Olive Oil, but nothing would get rid of the dents. Then PCGS sent it back in a body bag.

That's what you get for trying to clean it - my car is still in its pristine, natural, uncleaned state.

Yes, I have largely the same approach. My car gets washed once a year whether it needs it or not.

I use the "Automatic" cleaner :ok:
The ute gets cleaned when it rains :yahoo:

Yep I'm with trout, bought my ute brand new in 02 and washed it 3 times and once was 12 months ago when I moved here and it still looks better than a lot because I don't buy them with anything else except standard white paint as all the others are crap and either crack and fade or go chalky and the darker the paint the more marks they show and are harder to see when driving in shadows. Oh and my ute is always in the weather so I don't see much point..but I might have to clean it if I get any visitors

Um, not sure if its too late to get back on topic :angel: but are these marks hairlines? I honestly don't know. :dontknow:

There are hairlines there, the exposed surfaces are worn so there are either a lot more hairlines there (which aren't showing in your scan) or its a circulated coin. If it's uncirculated then it's probably been cleaned, otherwise they could be caused by caused by circulation.

ausjack · September 10, 2013, 01:49:10 PM

never too late Bob, sorry about that mate

and not sure but some look a little umm big/thick but interested to see what the guns say

sorry Walter ya type to quick for me

r9453 · September 10, 2013, 02:05:12 PM

Its all good AJ :grin:

Thanks Walter, that coin is definitely circulated probably about EF at best and I have it marked as cleaned. That's the main reason I thought it might be hairlines.

I'm hoping to improve my camera setup so I can get some better pics. :sun_bespectacled:

I have to admit that since this was my one and only NEW car, I babied it at first... soft microfibre cloth every day, weekly soapy bath, the works.

Then the hailstones took the shine off, and now it gets washed every time it rains.

Come to think of it, there may be some similarities to my coins in all this..

Ah crud.. go answer the phone while posting, and when you come back, someone's gone and put things back on topic. Sigh...

Yeah, what he said. Looks nice nonetheless.
