PC a red car

[16v_jon]

Grans 106 is red and its faded pretty bad and i want to PC it.
what would you cleaning people recommend for getting her bad boy shinny again
i have the sonus pads and loads of polish like 21, all the megs range

If it is red and faded/oxidised as it is single stage (non laquered paint) try a good paint cleaner like Klasse AIO on a polishing pad.

If its single stage also be prepared for your pads to turn pink, Brazo sulks when it happens but i reckon he loves them that colour

will AG super resin do same job as klasse AIO ??

gonna be testing the PC out on a red fto..

 

[Brazo]

^^Pretty much

 

[Guy]

do you use any polish/glazes/sealents on single stage paints?

 

[Brazo]

Treat it the same as cc paint

 

[Rich]

I did a back to back test of AIO and AG SRP on an oxidised bonnet.

The Klasse gets the job done alot quicker.

Single stage paints respond better to oily glazes even more than clearcoted ones. Same processes as cleacoated finishes apply.

How long does it last once the colour has been brought back to life?

 

[Brazo]

^^Depends how you treat it, If you leave it in direct sunlight it will start to oxides again say 6 months, if you apply waxes with UV blockers and garage then a lot longer.

Red absorbs the harmful blue light waves from the UV spectrum which causes the 'bleaching' . Blue cars reflect this blue light but absorb red light waves so theres far more pink cars (nee red) than light blue cars (nee navy)!!

Interesting, shows klasse is a much stronger paint cleaner!

 

[Guy]

i used AG super resin, harlys wax, and some G3 rubbing compound and got a badly faded red spoiler back to nearly new looking (by hand) its been outside int he driveway for a week or so and its gone faded again

hopefully the PC will bring it up alot better?
