    Clay the paint work first, that will remove any sh*te stuck on the surface of the paint. Then use g3 or 3m fast cut compound or this (ment to be very good, i haven't used it) - Menzerna Intensive Polish (Power Finish) - P0 85 RD 3.02 - 1L Elite Car Care

    That will bring the colour back hen you need to seal the surface with a good wax and sealant, Megiuar's nxt is very good at that, AG high dex wax should do that too.

    T-cut is utter sh*te.
    I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.

    After its red as u want it you need to use that stuff you can get on new cars dimond glaze or rainbow wax sumin like that anyway you pay say 600 quid and it will stay on your car for about 6 months

    Red let

    Re: how do i get my faded pinky red corsa red again

    use auto glym paint renovator, it takes time but do each panel in small firm circles and it will bring out the shine
    I used this on my arctic white van and it looked really good after a few hours at it

    I would suggest trying the g3, IMO if that doesn't work then i think its safe to say the paint work has had it, good luck with it tho
    The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on :D
