had my motor mopped before pvs - well worth the money, top layer of paint is thinned and spread evenly, like buffing laminated flooring. Will make the paint look as good as new. Works well with any colour but with red the difference will be bigger as red fades worse than most colours.

just the whole car is buffed using probably g3..... which is an abrasive, takes a thin layer of paint off leaving a nice brand new shiney layer left

i had my car moped last week and it looks bling now. i'll have to get some pictures up soon when i clean it. i had a mate at vauxhall do it for £40. only problem is that you have to keep it waxed every week otherwise it'll fade easily
