Just bought my daughter a Red Peugeot car. It is in very good condition but the paintwork is a bit patchy, one part is shiny other areas look dull.
Suggestions please what type of cleaner/polish will bring it back to its best.
It will look great if its given the right treatment but I do not know what.

You need to T-Cut it. Info and reviews here
Don't use it in direct sunlight or it will take you forever."It was not my intention to do this in front of you. For that, I'm sorry. But you can take my word for it, your mother had it comin'."

Red cars are the worst for colour fading and going patchy and you may not ever get it back to it's full glory even with T-cutting and polishing. There was a product that came on the market several years ago now that we used with some success but I forget what it's called, sorry, but it comes in all different colours and will also help hide scratches and small blemishes.
There's two colours of car that I'd never buy again and that's red or white"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"

My dad was in the motortrade for 50 years. He recommends washing cars that have been waxed with warm water and one or two caps of vinegar to keep it shiney.The best bargains are priceless!!!!!!!!!! :T :T :T0
