Hope u didn't use bumper care on the body!
Use AutoGlym Super Resin. It'll need a few goes to get it perfect. Wouldn't bother with T-Cut, its too abbrasive and doesn't work great with the paint used on the placcy panels.
Super Resin a couple of times, then Extra Gloss Protection. Thats all I've ever used on mine.

what you need is someone with a machine polisher mate!
kitch srp is good mate but oin the paint on that estate its beyond a couple of coats of srp! t-cut is okay but wont do too much! you would be better of with a good Compound!!!
ideally good compound and a machine polisher who knows what he's doing!

Don't under estimate Super Resin, I've had a few red cars worse than that and it did the trick. T-Cut just got blotchy and made it swirl. SRP will take quite a few goes, but alot of elbow grease and I reckon it'll do good.
The black trim on the tailgate isn't paint on these, its like a shrinkwrapped black sticker. It come off with a decent hairdryer.

i wondered about the black bit as my other estate has it i just thought it was a later trim model Ithink the reason it has faded so badly is because it sat in a shed for about 3years with its arse sticking out to the elements! Yesterday i changed all 4 doors for some better ones and got a tin of polish out and after about 6 coats there is colour there !! perhaps this will spur me on to tidy the old girl up Timmo any tips on the best way ? as i get the impression that you are the paint guru!

kitch, i dont want to sound off matey but i think i may have been using srp for a little longer than you!Kitch wrote:Don't under estimate Super Resin,
Yes srp will do with a lot of coats but srp only has a solvent cut in it! t-cut has an active cut in it which means you can feel it working! if t-cut wasnt any good then why would they still be producing it after so many years?????? its true there are better products out there for removing dull patches on paint and i for one prefer Farecla G3, but then i have been using that for close to 10 years (time i have been professionally valeting), when ever i am faced with a car like the one in this thread witht he paint in the condition its in i would get the machine polisher out and go from there!
Its not simply about removing the oxidisation and thats it job done! its about removing it, cleaning the paint, conditioning it, sealing it and protecting it to prevent rapid re-oxidisation!
somehting srp cant do on its own!
Yep thats all I've ever used on mine too, does a great job on my cars triton green paintwork, judge for yourself in the 'our cars' section here!! Still I need something to restore the heavily faded paintwork above drivers door...prob need a bit of respraying there!!Kitch wrote:

My BXclub sticker is in top of rear screen, centrally mounted and my CCC one is in top of front screen on passenger side.
