From pink to red..

[paul13899]

Noticed my car is going a bit pinky no matter how much i polish it..

I've got some AG super resin polish and Tcut but the tcut doesn't seem to be "cutting" through to the fresh red paint? do i need a respray or are there any magic products/techniques?

Any help much appreciated as people are taking the piss out of my poor pink e30 lol

What year is the car? Some expert on here will be able to tell you from that whether it's 'single stage' paint, which you can polish the top layer off to get to fresh red paint, or the modern version, which is a thin layer of paint with lacquer on top, which you can polish all day without doing any good..

its a 1990 with no lacquer... SO annoying

I bought some of this to do my Touring recently.
Good results.

Farelca G3 (however its spelt). Took mine from pink (almost white in places!) to red no problems. Don't go too much with it or you will go through the paint, especially on edges if you're not careful.

What on EARTH does a clay bar do?

I have the same problem on mine but has few parts that need respraying but might just push the boat out and get it resprayed does anyone know the cost of this its a 318is

All you need to do is have your car professionally detailed / machine polished

It will do wonders for you, so much can be achieved with tired, faded, swirled paintwork. I do this for a living.
