Thank God for people like you with invaluable advice.

A (cheap) long shot!!, Have you tried 'T-Cut' on a small patch of the faded area?. It will need plenty of 'Elbow grease ' & hard work but it's worth a try before you go down the more expensive routes (ie Bodyshop's etc).

Hope this helps/works.

 

PS. I meant that if it works on a small patch then you need to do the rest of the faded area. and then the whole bodywork.

Give it an extremely good clean, perhaps clay bar as well, paint correction to remove scratches, a good buff.

 

Try searching for "faded" on the car detailing forums to see how others have answered the same question.

 

I reckon you'll get better products from a specialist shop like

It should polish out ok, but could quite possibly need a machine polisher and an experienced hand to get the correct results.

 

You don't want to end up with a different shade of blue on each panel, as you'd polished them differently.

 

There's a really good local lad who is worth a call.

He's mobile, so will be able to come to you, advise on what is best and do it at your place.

The professional way is called mopping using cutting compound,but you can do a very good job just using ordinary T Cut it takes a bit of hard work but dull paint does come up,you need loads of clothes,after you have cut the paint use some good quality car polish like meguiar's car polish.

If you wear disposable coveralls like you do when in a spray booth, just the one set of casual workwear such as jeans and a T-shirt should suffice.

Thank God for you.

 

I thought I'd made it clear enough that I want someone to come and sort the car for me using a machine polisher, a service I'd expect to pay for.

 

I don't want tips on how to do it as I'm aware of T Cut, etc.
