is it sun damage faded or is the paint laquer like sand paper? if its just faded with the sun about an hr with T-cut fixes that saves you paying alot for someone else to do it but you may need a garage because i fear it may be hard to do it in this weather  |

If the paint is faded then unfortunately polishing will not bring back the colour, you will only be polishing the clear coat.________________________________________ If you aint first, your last! |

As above I'm afraid  Only the sideskirts and grill will clean up with T-Cut or machine polisher  The rest of the paint is clear over colour,looks like pug had some sort of problem with the paint IMO  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |
