Faded Paintwork
Not a scooby but the family have a red 2002 Astra 5 door. Its not been looked after that well in the last 7 years and has likely not been washed too often.
Anyway, the paintwork is severely faded over all of it. I spent a happy hour with some t-cut and a rag and some of it looks a lot better (where I did) but it still looks slightly patchy. There are also a lot of little spots that even on a test area I spent 10 minutes polishing hard, don't go away, so when you rub off the t-cut they are still noticeable.
I don't want concours but what is the best way and order of application to get the colour back as best as possible? What should I use? I could rub away for a couple of hours with the t-cut but what would achieve the best result?
Car drives lovely and is mechanically really good, so its worth tidying it up a bit.
