what are the best product to get a red corsa a deep red and really shiney?whats easy to use?
i used a tin of some turtlewax stuff the other day and it looks ok, just a few swirl marks on the roof after a lot of polishing, it was hard to use.

this is how it looks:

Get it compound polished by a valeter to start and then make sure you put on a good base of wax to last you the winter and keep it topped up by waxing whenever possible.

Use something thick like Megs wax paste

Tech wax is very good too, it protects the paint for about 2 -3 weeks before it needs topping up.

When i got my corsa a few years ago i can say that the colour wasnt as good as it is now but it is matalic green. since ive had my car ive always washed it with autoglym and polished with autoglym its alot better then wot it was i have use the paint protector that autoglyn does as well a few times and that works realy well.

Don't use washing up liquid and don't got throw car washes unless its a hand car wash

Once red is faded its really hard to get it to stay good for long..

This was my old sport I had a year ago.. looks really good but took a lot of work with t-cut and waxxing to keep it that way..

Heres one of the GSi I have now.. its tottaly different.. fact its been painted makes it so easy to keep it looking good.
