As per the title, your suggestions please. I've tried almost every wax and polish at halfrauds and still haven't found anything that lasts. I used some 3M professional stuff at jae a few years ago and that was amazing and lasted ages but i've no idea what it was called now :eusa_think:

Anyways i'm looking for your suggestions to bring my motor back from pinkness!

Have you tried repainting it?

Difficult thing as is it the paint layer underneath the laquer coat you would have to take the laquer of first buff it up then re laquer, I have some dodo waxbar that would work got my green spotted red alfa looking absolutely immaculate but it took me a good 6 hours, if your at jae will bring some and we can try it out or if your near ours pop in.

G3 + electric polisher is your best bet.

This was after 30 minutes of elbow work:

About the same time with an electric polisher :

If you get one with a soft start and variable speed then your in, I think most of them come with this anywho.

g3 is great stuff i have just buffed my white faded van with it and the paint has come back looking fresh as a daisy , the secret is to keep up with a reguler spit and polish .

auto glym to finish and watch the water bead off that paint baby
