Simple answer - T-cut. Just polish the whole car up with this and it should bring the shine back

Third time ftw, T-Cut

Repetative, boring, takes a mind numbingly long time on your own, but you'll only need to do it once every....6-months, maybe year?
Possibly more, but ive not had a car long enough to know how often to do it

That was t-cut for the fourth time actually lol

so i take it t-cut is the best answer then not this G3 rubbing compound

paint correction using a machine polisher is what you need

my arches were faded to grey my roof had gone pink on mine, vauxhall flame red is pretty awful for fading, so after countless number of times t cutting the focker decided to colour code the arches and do the roof now it looks mint for 64 quid :L

I brought Red polish for mine and polished bits and bobs in an evening, my boot is near enough factory flame red just from using red polish mate, i got mine in halfords for like £10 or something like that?
id recommend it to anyone mate

Hey, I've just joined the site and have owned my W-reg corsa for a week or two.

Originally it was pink when I first saw it but I can't believe the differance now, spent roughly 6 hours on and off t-cutting the whole body and im amazed how well it turned out.

I took some photo's 2 hours into it but I've yet to take one of the finished article.

thats exsactly how mine turned out!!

That amount of fading is terrible for a w reg car, plenty of other red cars at that age from other makers last much better,

Then again other straight colours fade from vauxhall the metallics last well but I guess thats because the solid colours are two pack (assuming not entirely what they use) and the metalics etc are base and laquer.
