good old tcut ,paint restorer or rubbing compound from any decent car supply shop will sort it out.

i was thinkin of t.cut but wasnt sure if id do more harm then good haha.. sound out..

[fuzzy]

as long as you dont rub to hard and go through the paint itll be fine. youd need to rub very hard to go throught the paint though.

to get it perfect, best to take it off the car i reckon, easier to get at

I would try Autoglym super resin polish first, you might find that does the trick and wont be as harsh as T Cut.

[Joe-318i]

or autoglym ultra deep shine, thats really good stuff

[mattsbmw]

Super resin polish is slightly abrasive so is more suited to restoring faded colours

When I got a bonnet painted on a red car a few years back I was advised to use stuff called G3 on the rest of the car, its very good, alot dryer than t-cut, but with a wax the paint never faded again, could try that.

davem42. is that g3 frecler? i use this all the time £14. a ltr but the best thing money can buy.

[DaveM42]

Yeah, The stuff is made by Farecla (french maybe?) and you get different grades, since I tried the stuff years ago I now only use it and G10 (finer) then the same brand wax which smells like raspberry yogurt !!
Alot of guys I know use Maguirs or whatever brand Hellfrauds is flogging but I can always get a better finish and I think the price is slightly better value.

where can you get this g3 and g10???

[bobbin1982]

i got mine from halfords

You can get G3 compund in any good motor factors. Did wonders to my white iS. Make sure you give the car a good polish and wax afterwards as the compound will leave the paint exposed to the elements. Just on a side note would you happen to attend college in UL?
