RED paintwork - Saxperience

DarylVTR · 14th January 2007, 11:07

As we know red paintwork has a tendancy of fading.......

Can anyone tell me how to restore its look to hide this problem? What products do i need? Is it achievable?

I was going to get the megane 1.6 sport coupe they are really nice cars very comfortable and i think there around 120bhp or something close.

not all reds, only the non clear coated ones

kcsaxo · 14th January 2007, 13:23

only thing to stop the fade is to give it a coat of cleaner wax around once a quarter along with a sealant to lock it in. other than that there's no other method.

vtscotty · 14th January 2007, 15:23

if the car is already faded then you need to have it buffed, this will bring it up straight away and will look like new

DarylVTR · 14th January 2007, 15:40

how about paying for it to be machine polished?

rushy_23 · 14th January 2007, 17:20

Which Megane is it? Not the newer shape with the ass is it?

Glad you never got a E36 316i, I hate 'em

i always thought my paint job looked ok!
Untill i parked next to a furio - 2000 (W) like mine, and the paint on theirs was defo richer!
Is 'vanetian red' the name of the color???

Rich84 · 14th January 2007, 19:17

mines still farly bright, just keep it clean and protected

All you need is the Jeffs Werkstatt Carnuaba Kit - this will (i) deep cleanse the paint (lifting away the oxidation, which is the cause if the fading) (ii) seal the paint (preventing the oxidation from reoccurring) and (iii) give a deep, wet looking shine. The kit comes with everything you need in the way of pads and towels, and works as well by hand as it does by machine. Here's the link (scroll down to see the kit and instructions for use)....
