Just received my farecla polishing kit through the door this morning, and gave it a shot on my bonnet, that was seriously fucked, no reflection at all:
Then after a session of wash, dry, G3 with the kit, then polish with Mer car polish, it came up like this:
SUPERB!
Still not brilliant, but FAR better than before. Bonnet needs a respreay really, covered in stone chips, but what a difference it made. Im going to do the whole car in this sometime, really really good stuff.
So, go and buy yourself this:
and this:
and get that poor lacquer demolished away by some severly abrasive stuff. In other words, don't do it too often, else you will remove the clear coat completely

People be carful they seams to be alot of talk about G3 and G10 over the past few weeks, be carful as you can burn threw the paint, use alittle water aswell to cool it alittle.
IF you dont know what your doing pay a bodyshop, they will charge you about £40-60

I was using a simple spray bottle, and sprayed on a little water now and then, will that be ok for it?

Mine was done properly at bodyshop, this was a while ago.
Car no longer looks like that at the moment either (better wheels, lights, etc)

thats fine with the spray bottle.
Always do it in slow controled movments to again keep any heat down so you dont burn threw

Try using that meguiars 3 stage kit, its about £20 odd, meant to be superb for flame red. As for the spoiler, might need a respray as the lacquer is coming off.

Yeah i was just looking at the halfords website and realised 
Are these the 3 stage products:
Meguiars Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner Step 1
Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish Step 2
Meguiars Deep Crystal Carbauba Wax Step 3
They're on 3 for 2 so might pop down and get some after work.
