Kepp on top of it or it will be again!! LOL!

looks good mate, I have the same problem following a respray a few years ago. You spend a few hours polishing then after a couple weeks you are back to square one again. The last person to polish my car was my wife. She used t-cut colour magic and it came up great!

Shiney :cool: Nice alloys too.

 

ooooh, and slicktop :bow:

its got tien coilovers and sticky tyres as well. it handles really well. i've got a drifty 200 which i thought was good but this is so controlable with its arse out a monkey could drive it!!!!

the reason you seal it is twofold

Remember the paintwork is 17 years old

oh and please dont use tcut , I hate cheap distilates used on your car....lol..sorry, personally would prefer a machine glaze to prep it then seal it twice as it layers and p21s it to finish, man i dont have enough time to do this myself nowadays but heres when i did

1, normal polishes on a red car will to some degree allow uv affect

2, sealants act as a perfect base for carnubia based waxes and give a longer lasting protection ( sometimes up to 12 months)

I think you went a bit OTT on the number plate though. you rubbed the bloody numbers off. :tongue:

mine ain't bad for an amatuer!!newboat039.jpg

to get it back from pink is great, in fact the work involved in doing that must of killed ya, I only found these things out by trial and error trust me the paintwork on mine has lots of imperfections, swirls and such and is dulling in areas, once machine glazing has glossed the surface( i used 3m machine glaze) then applied 2 coats of meguiars 20 polymer sealant and then 1 coat of p21s carnubia wax( p21 doesnt last long maybe a month on car so will need good top ups).
