cheap problem to solve . buy a bottle of t-cut ''paint restorer'' and follow instruction , then after t-cut give it a really good wax , make sure you wash your car beforehand using proper car shampoo. with the bumpers ther is also a bumper ''restorer'' then after that finish it of with a back-to-black. keep in mind the more elbow grease the better the final result .

Thanks for the fast reply...

Someone told me tht T-cut is really aggrressive and i should try Mer polish

Had anybody used Mer and would they surgest it for bringing back the colour to a now pink Corsa which should b Red??

Its the stuff i use and id say its good cause the car doesnt need to be fully dry [altho polishin with puddles over the car is a bit stupid]

getting a car from pink to red all depends on the time taken on it .. it will take a few coats and some muscle into it but its good 'industrial' stuff.

As you can see the Paint and Trim are not in the best condition... Gotta do a bit of work to it the main job is the Paint, Trim and wheels... Looking for a set of alloys...

Any other ideas of what i could do to it??

Thanks

yeah i reckon a good t-cut, if u polish it u'll probly just end up with a shiny pink car. and maybe a spoiler.

use t-cut colour restorer (red bottle) and id say dnt use electric buffer, use rag and a lot of elbow grease make sure you usealot of water. however you could always get it poffesionally dne for around £40.
