Default From Pink to Red???

Just washed my Escort Si the other day and noticed it going a bit pink around the old mirrors and door handles is there any way of getting the red back or am I doomed....

Thanks

No you'll be fine, it just needs a good polish. Is it actually the plastic mirrors and handles that are fading? As this is pretty common. Give them a good going over with a quality abrasive polish, then polish as usual.

No probs - you may well need to use something stronger than usual though

Get some Farecla G3 or similar rubbing compound, don't forget to use polish afterwards cos if you don't it'll go pink again
