The mk1 is fading and i want to get it back to prestine. Some colour restorer or something?

Anyone reccomend me on some good shit?

Matt

i usually just get the G3 out at the garage and give it a run over with the buffer! but good old elbow action does the same!

Hmm.. One of my mates suggested that, we did his astra and it looked brand new. Might have to aquire some G3 then!

id be carefull mate because my car has been polished that much over the years its started to dull the paintwork.

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

good old t-cut should bring back some shine, then autoglym super resin polish after with some extra gloss protection to finish it should look mint after

Meguires #80 or #83 then a decent wax or sealent to stop it happening again :boogy:

stop wasting money on cleaning it and get it on the road then clean it !

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)

Some red car pics i have done recently :

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!

Definatly i missed a bit when i polished the clio with meguires #83 and had a grey stripe down the car :hush: yet i though the paint was in mint really dark condition especially when its not even 5 years old!!

The red car above is also a 2001 car :eyes:

So then tom when you gonna do my frontera for me?

When you buy pad + polish

Would be expensive on the polish side to do that :eyes:

We can do a pannel though see if it makes an improvement enough to warrent u buyin a pad and polish cary:

autoglm's paint renovator is really good !!!
