    Did you polish and protect or just T-Cut it?

    The second photo is Vauxhall red circa 1994 done 6 months ago.
    Still gleams.


    Red cars especially are terrible for fading paint but a great bargin buy if you be bothered with the rubbing :cool:

    T-Cut first followed by Autoglym and Extra Gloss Protection. My point was that it seems that on Vauxhall red paint, once it has deteriorated then the UV seems to affect all the layers of paint through to the primer. I've had other red cars that I've successfully rescued the paintwork.
