Re: Bringing back faded paint

Wasnt sure which were before and afters.....

The DC polish will still be usefull, but likely will want a bit stronger of a cleaner like SwirlX ,etc, unless you go with the #80.

The pics are on page 2.
I used the 3 step polish system & it turned out real good.
Could have used something heavier for the bigger scratches, but the swirls & waterspots all came right out!

Here is another vote for #80, followed up with color-x. I think you would get outstanding results with this combo.

I would of used UC followed by Color X, and then followed with NXT2.

And yeah, no rags. Look for some smooth foam applicators, and some decent microfiber towels.

Wouldnt a piece of terry cloth be more appropriate? Judging by the pictures the car is extremly oxidized, just like in Mike's thread with the Bronco, except this car looks a bit worse.

I just thought the terry cloth will give a bit more bite, whehter he chooses to use SwirlX, ColorX, or M80.

Re: Bringing back faded paint

Yeah...I agree with Murr1525.....DC2 or #7

DC2 or M07 will not remove any dead paint.
