go and buy one of those electric buffers, they are really cheap, whack some t-cut on it and go over the whole car, will make a huge difference, then do the same with polish.

fully respray, and laquer. its the only way.

oh and buy the way. once youve got rust, you'll only slow it down, never get rid of it unless you take it down to bare metal.

how much u reckon to get my car resprayed ? just the outer as its going to be the same colour again (flame red) , inc an already fitted/primed kit, also colour coding of arches, fitted/primed m3 mirrors ?? alot of labour wont be needed with stripping it out because its only the outer car that needs done (rust, chips, fided, kit ect)

i will prep all the plastic stuff with plastic primer 1st , i.e arches, handles, boot handle, the kit wil already be primed.

no, they only go down to the bare metal if any rust of filling needs to be done. other than that just spray striahgt over the existing paintwork.
the paint vauxhall used is crap and fades, get it sprayed in a synthetic paint and it shouldnt fade anywhere near like the origanal paint has done.
