Paint fading

[Hazza]

On my Red Ignis Sport, i've noticed a massive paint fade on my roof and rear spoiler, and the bonnet is starting to fade as well!

I use SRP and Turtle wax (combination of box) after i wash the car, but just keeps coming back!

What stuff could i use to seriously get rid of the paint fade? or is it a re spray needed?

Many thanks.

Is it a one stage paint? Ie do you see paint transfer onto the cloth/pad you are using to srp it?

Get a decent wax to protect the finish...

Not wen i'm using SRP, but once when i used t-cut (never again!) on a scuff i had, i noticed red paint on my cloth... guess its one stage paint then!

If it's anything like the Red used on the honda integras it will need a respray.

Otherwise it's probably just oxidisation which needs cutting back with a mild compound.

It's just one stage slid colour, get it machines or put some elbow grease into and buy some wax that won't wash off with a sprinkle of rain. Turtle wax isn't helping you!

Oh and JD, Markie...

I thought cheap as he doesn't want to spend loads!
