Getting a Pink red corsa back to life??

[Sh08bst]

Well the cars getting sprayed at sum point, But cant see it happening soon anymore.
So i was wondering if its possible to try and bring my paint work back to life ????

Anyone got any sugestions ??

[Dell Balallan]

As I was saying to you the other day, try the buff on it and some G3, im sure it will take it up so much!

Or you could get the t cut out and a good dose of elbow grease!

[Sh08bst]

uve got all that spare time dell. You can do it
haha.

Yeah well i gave the g3 ago,, But u need the machine to do that properly.

So thinking of just going to give the t cut a good few shots. And hopefully it will work

[Dell Balallan]

If I was at home a day with the buff would see it better than it is anyway.
I don't know what you are talking about tho, i have no spare time!!!

IMO, you'll use more compound and elbow-grease using t-cut, g3 is the stuff to use, just use the same elbow-grease with it as you would use with t-cut...

I have actually used t-cut with the buff a couple of times and got some good results but you have to be careful not to go thru the paint.

you shouldnt have to get it resprayed, all you need is a good going over with T-Cut, i had a red nova, which when i get it, it was pink and proper faded but after 2 longdays of t-cutting, it was bright red.. theres not point payin upto 1000quid for a respray when you can do it yourself so stock up on t-cut and get to work

[Sh08bst]

Ill give t cut a good call, Gonna go get some and give it a shot. Ill upload pictures later

T-cut really isnt worth a wa*k.

[Sh08bst]

what the best then ?:\

G3, machine polish, fast cut compound.. There's loads. But G3 is easy and easy to get.

Yea as Benn said. I used AutoGlym Paint Renovator (pink label) on my Corsa Gsi and came up a treat.

[uno_bad_boy]

use meguiars ultimate compound

[Liam1805]

use meguiars ultimate compound

This is good, have used this before, but will be there days upon days doing it by hand

[robokid]

use g3 its very good it brought my paint up gd, takes awhile by hand but if you use a buffer im sure you will fly throught it

[ashleyfoster]

I brought an R reg flame red 1.2 about a 6 months ago and its redder then a red thing aha! I used red polish, tee cut and lots and lots of time but its finally there

[StranraerRedtop]

i no a person who had same problem... and hee polished his car with thinners... and the machine buffer... then G3 cutting compund...then t-cut...then hard shell turtle wax.. and its like new

I used Autoglym Paint Renovator and Super Resin Polish on a flame pink Astra MK3 and the difference was night and day after only a couple of goes over. Link to thread with a couple of progress/comparison pics: MK3 Astra Estate - The tidy up!

[Rusty 16v]

I used to use both of those on the GTE 16v in a futile attempt to keep it red, along with Autoglym 'Extra Gloss Finish'

It needed a cutting compound on it, then polish and lots of wax.
