Restoring dull pain (FAO r-jay??)

[Pat_986]

Hey all

"FAO r-jay"......only put this as he seems to be very clued up when it comes to detailing, I'm sure others will be able to help!

I am soon to sell my valver & motorbike so I can save up some cash for a 182, CTR or a Focus RS if all goes well. Anyway I have brought a cheap Ford XR2i off a mate to last me for 6ish months. It's red and I'm sure you will believe me that it has very dull paint!

Please advise me on the best way to restore it, And any general cleaning guides with best product's to use would be brill!

Ta
Patrick

Is the finish got laquer on it? When you say dull do you mean faded/oxidised and flat looking without any shine?

If it is unlaquered Klasse AIO is a great product, strips through oxidisation easily even by hand.

Good guide for other aspects.

Magic thanks guys;

r-jay: I think its unlaquered...looks very similar to the corsa's before shot's in Loonys post!

Loony;Thanks for the link

No problem, poor Brazo did the graft only took seconds to post the link

I was hoping that the pics of the corsa would pop up to show the power of the Klasse AIO (and the Brazo!).

If it looks like the Corsa Pat, it is unlaquered - so a botttle of Klasse should see you okay. By hand get ready for a good work out hough.

There is also an ebay shop by the above that sells samles of klasse, two 2oz samples should do you

[Turkish]

Its his missus and pets that should worry when we send him home with a belly full of booze and a head full of ideas, lol.

 

[Rich]

PMSL, he probably goes and gets his P.C out instead!

Am I ok with that stuff on my golf??

Works well on most colours. Great as long as your not trying to remove swirls.
