Alright guys,

The s2 is more pink than red.. I've had a go with T-Cut but hasnt really done much good.. Any tips on how to get the beasty back to red ?

swerv

a machine polish with some cutting compound , something like G3.

T-cut will just make the car have lots of swirls which will be patchy

swanny

exactly the situation i am currently at !!

So where can I get a machine polish from ? Is a kit you buy yourself, or would it be better to get it professionally done by a body shop ?

T cut will do the job but has to be done right ( lots of hard work ) then a good polish after will bring it up a treat... or as said before Farécla G3 will do the job either way you want to be doing a section at a time and spend a full day on the whole car! itll be back to shiny dog cock red before you know it..

mmmm dog cock red... now thats what i'm talking about

I'll give it another go at the weekend, maybe I wasn't buffing hard enough

Patto

my car was going pink in places so my dad ( lazy twta me.lol ) spent all day on it with farecla,Tcut then at the end of it he polished it and it was REALLY shiny more than i could belive ( proper dog cock red ) just take your time work real hard so that the sweats running out of you and only ever do a bit at a time.... get some pics up of it done mate...

as said use a cutting compound and a electric buffer can get them for about £20 from most car places motorsave ect

doggydowg

stop being a lazy fucker and spend some time on it, how long did you go at it on your last attempt half hour;-( i spent about 4 hours sorting out the dimma and that came up sweet apart from the dodgy plastic bits lol next wknd if its sunny spend an afternoon doing it il supervise

Patto

plus using a buffer aint always the best thing! they can leave nasty swirl marks if not used right and you can easily take of paint on parts of the paint!

I t-cut the whole car first, normaly takes about 3 hours then use autoglym polish after which takes another 2-3 hours. will not look perfect first time but do this once a week for 2-3 weeks and it will come up sweet
