Paint fading

[Seanmicra]

Hi my k11 paint is fading due to sun does anyone know if polishing will refresh paint?

You cant really tell on pic but I'm sure anyone who owns a red micra knows what I mean lol.

I know what you mean, my red prefacelift really showed up when i put freshly painted bumpers on them. (Although very shinny from polishing it is still a faded colour)

I found megiuars ultimate compound good but a lot of work (and i mean a lot) and still not perfect, so im going to try thier 3 stage system with a DA attatchment for a corded drill

50€ and get a good rotary polisher online

Good polish and spray water on pads yeah. Also get different density foam pads for cutting and finishing
