red cars do fade, yes, but its the stereotypical 15 year old cavaliers that've never seen a spone let alnoe polish/wax in their life, that give you the impression that theyre so bad.

Look after it on a regular basis and it will be totally fine!

My old red corsa used to come up with pink spots even though it was t-cutted about every 2 months. think it just depends on the age of the car and how well it's been looked after before. Must admit they do need more looking after than other colours.

There are plenty of products out there to restore a cars colour.
Ali Bali, T-cut actually takes a very fine layer of paint off every time you do it, so the possible reason behind having pink spots is that you removed too many layers of paint in specific spots?
