See the red 1.8 Turbo Corsa C for what 'paint correction' and 'detailing' can do for flame red :)

repaint it with red house paint sorted :P

The T-cut specifically for red paint brought our Flame Red van up a treat. The roof was virtually white but it came out really well. Apart from when the sun baked it on and it was impossible to get off, it still remains half done :lol:

Ah i've just remembered, your other option if your feeling brave is to wet sand the oxidised panels and then polish it.

Basically all you do is starting from a fine grit, rub the affected areas down using wet&dry (very wet) and work your way through a few gardes till its as fine as possible. Then give it a polish over with a light cutting compound. Then seal/wax as per usual. It'll bring the car up a treat but its not for the light hearted.

Except not in that order ;)

Give it a good wash, clay bar, T cut it (if its in a bad state), then 1 or 2 goes with the SRP and finish off with a decent wax with a UV inhibitor (poorboys/colinite 476, or AG High def if your feeling rich).

Look on page two, a lad who has my old Corsa just had his Flame Red one mopped.

I do like work. Just T-cut didn't seem to work. Pain in the arse because of the black rubber trims even when I did mask it up.

Deano your like dont work

i used it (T-cut) on my 23 yr old Nova and worked a treat, still to upload photos but can pass them on if requested!

I have this trouble.

Other than getting it professionally treated, then maintaining it regularly with plenty of wax, it won't be stopped.

Can anyone tell me whats the best way to stop it fading pink all the time. Love my Corsa 1.2 16V but i hate when the black bumper strips fade and the actual red turns slightly pink.
