faded red

[smokiedee]

hi, whats the best way to restore faded red paintwork. don't really want to respray at the moment

A pc polish, or if you can't do that t-cut.

Klasse AIO (All In One)

A good chemical cleaner like as suggested above Klasse AIO works great on oxidisation on single stage red. Of the shelf Autoglym Super Resin works well.

If it's really bad I'd cut it back to a decent layer that's not oxidised, then apply plenty of polish and wax to seal it!

By hand as above Klasse All In One would be your best bet. By PC I used menzerna Intensive Polish (PO91L) followed by Final Finish (PO85RD) on a red/pink calibra and it brought it up a treat:

my brother has a red polo, and when it fades, he uses t-cut, comes up a treat... but think we will PC it next time it turns pink lol

yeah it's the 1.4 rt. thanks for all the advice i'll give the t-cut a try as it's not faded as bad as the porshe. lol cheers

DONT use t-cut. It's way too aggressive just for removing oxidation and most people are too aggressive/liberal with it or more often than not both. Use something like Classe AIO or Autoglym SRP like the guys have suggested. You wont end up destroying the paint with either of those.
