I've got some autogymn stuff, but was thinking about getting a buffer to do my car with, wasnt sure if you could do it by hand or not...!

Re: Red Corsa Paint Faded
My appologies only just seen this thread again i used the g3 compound with the buffer and lots of water,
If you're thinking of buying a buffer you get what you pay for and £120 will see you a sealey tools buffer same as mine as found in bodyshops,
After i just used 2 coats of autoglym and it came up brilliant,
Just need to sort my brakes now

Autoglym Paint Renovator does an excellent job. Should be able to pick up a bottle for £5 from any motorparts shop.

It sure does mate. Keeps the car looking like showroom condition. Wash the car, use the paint renovator and then wax the car. Lasts for ages!andrew wrote:Does that Paint Renavater defo work as i have to polish my motor every weekend by hand come rain or shine as i cant be seen driving a pink motor.

Re: Red Corsa Paint Faded
i used the Autoglym and it woz ok but didnt last a long time really, a friend used the compund idea and it worked perfect,i went for the cheaper option,if you know how to do it it comes ok,if not i would attempt it,i aerasoled the whole car in origional flame red and it works fine,i did it on about £9,only used 3 or 4 cans.will put pics on sumtime to prove, wouldnt get paint from halfords tho,costs alot,i went to my local car shop.

Re: Red Corsa Paint Faded
Use a good wash and wax shampoo, eg. carplan to help reduce the problem but to solve the problem completely u'll need a day or 2 to t-cut and polish it.
