the red paint on my car was turning into this chalky magenta color so i had to fix it. the whole five hours i just massaged product onto my car and wiped it off. this car is sixteen years old and the red looks so nice now

if u buy / or have an old car, there is hope! i just hope it doesnt go back to its old state.










tah dah! i love my car (:

and thanks to zygote55 from your scion tc forums cause he's the one that explained how to do this.

the products i used were
dish detergent
meguiars gold class shampoo
turtlewax polishing compound
meguiars deep crystal polish
turtle wax ice polish
meguiars NXT generation tech wax
and a whole lot of micro fiber towels

i think the polishing compound is what did it. the rest just made it super shiny.

its a LOT of work, but i thought id just share my adventure with you.

[DaRkViEt73]

now that is freakin' nice... at first I thought it was a new paint job until I saw the list of products and specifically the polishing compound.

[roflingsam]

You polished the car by hand and got results like that? I did a 15 year old Saab with single stage paint by PC and Poorboy's SSR2.5 and got similar results.

^ hmm i guess that would have been a lot easier if only i had known. but oh welll nothing like a hard day of work.

Wow, that looks really nice with the comparison pictures. I can't believe how shiny you got it in just 5 hours. Thats how long it took me last time just to do 1 side of my 240sx. It alot of work I know that, something I would be showing off as well. Very good job!

Dude it looks like before after pictures of a paint restoration product off of a tv infomercial. Great job!

Nice job. Afterall, the 5 hours was worth it.

Woah, dude.. could you show me the material you used, that looks really nice!

Very nice restoration...if that was done by hand, definitely impressive. I've been using a PC for my polishing but thinking of going up to rotary. You should look into a PC (if your not using one) and it might take you less then 5 hours.
