Corsa C detail RED = Paint fade FTL

[Jamie]

Right well my brain wave to take pics only happend after the 3rd wash doh!

Im not going to bore you with all the stages dont worry lol!

Even after the washes & claying you can see the paint is in bad shape.

Out came the DA to save the day!

I didn't get time to do the wheels and tires as he had to go home for dinner lol

The cars paintwork was in the same condition as the roof all over was filth:(

Thats not just because of the reflection that, that is the difference between the colour of the pannel after polishing and you can clearly see it differs from that of the boot!

Yeah, the paint from 10-15 year old corsa's. One or 2 shapes before this one, have disgustingly faded paint, looks so scabby. Hate it.

Looks very good.
Red Vauxhalls musn't be lacquered
Makes me wonder if you could buy a really bad faded red corsa polish it up and make some £££

That's exactly what my pals doing with it:)

I reckon it's gone from 1500's worth to 2.3k

red is the worst colour period for paint fading. it's not just vauxhalls it's how people take care of their car

[adamm]

Dunno about that mate, saw a blue corsa earlier that was just as awful.
