Piece of cake mate....

Get yourself a bottle of T - Cut..... and go round the car once of twice with it rubbing nice and hard.... then finish it off with some autoglym polish....

If you want mega shiny painty....then use the t cut as above but purchase the meguiars stage three system - use it as it says and hey presto - one very shiny car!!!! - used the stuff on the astra and Corrado - both have mirror finishes.... but my shoulders only just stopped aching......lmao

Just make sure you apply the wax polish after T-cutting *

A Trick of the trade for you..... to save time and effort *

Apply the T cut and rub in nicely and evenly until it starts to dry out..... leave to dry... do rest of car.... leave to dry - then apply straight on top of the T cut your chosen wax polish.... and rub it in nice and deep.... then buff off.... * - should bring the paint up like new.....

If wanna be mega fancy and like the water to run off easily instead of drying out and marking your paintwork then get some carnuba wax and stick that on after.....

But Meguiar products rock....look here: www.meguiars.co.uk

I have used colour impregnated T-Cut products, specific to vehicle colour, on a flame red and a white Nova.......

Both colour specific bottles have really worked wonders.......
believe they are by Turtle Wax, and are like T cut but contain mild pigmentation to help restore the paint colur and give it a deeper sheen.......

just be careful not to get too much on plastics, rubber, seals etc as it can be a bit of a nightmare to get off if u get too much on it and it dries........

REALLY put the elbow grease into it when removing and it leaves a tip-top finish..........

that reminds me.......have to do mine this sat if i can be arsed!lmao
