Hi all,

Got a 1.2 1999 corsa Red, And the paint work and trim have really faded quite bad just woundering if any one has any ideas on to geeting it bk to looking in a good condition? And what should i use.??

Thanks in advance

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??

Thanks/

get some pics up of it mate. loads of people on here have used T-cut mate and i dont think any ones had any problems.

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.

gettin pink to red is easy i cba to type out wat to do though as its already been asked numours times

Hi thanks for the replys

Could you possible send me the links to these please.?

Thanks

t-cut then colour restorer once the reds come back polish it and wax it then regulary polish it to keep the red

Gotta electric polisher will get that out with the T-Cut and give it ago..

Thanks for the help..

Heres the pics..






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.

Great thanks for the help..

Any tips for using an electric polisher?

And what t-cut should i use (so many varites out there)? Also what should i use on the trim..

Thanks Again..

i use vegtable oil

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.
