Mines been in the sun and its faded. By rule white cars do go darker - like a cream white when they age.

T-cut/polish/ then a good wax, got a red micra an that had faded when i bought it-did above an 2yrs later hasnt faded one bit-infact if ya wash an leather it off you`d swear it`d just been waxed, mind you used pinnacle souveran wax(paste) on it and its possibly the best wax out there for red cars (imo) but not cheap at £39.95 but does last ages.(already had the wax)

bloody hell!

It's amazing isn't it you think paintwork doesnt look "that" bad until you give it some elbow grease!

My BM looked "not bad" to say it had been stood, but when Nez and I went over it with G3 (in some places) and Meguiars scratch-ex on the rest, then we used mequiars Tech Wax to finish it off, looked impressive after but could still do with loads more to bring it up to tip top condition!
