thanks mate not as good as some of the work iv seen you produce lol nut im happy with it, have you got any suggestions of how i could keep the red there for as long as porrisble

i used tcut on all the heavy faded bits or scratches then i used auto glym paint restorer all over the car then i used auto glymn super resin polish and then i waxed it all eith mequires stuff, im hoping the wax will seal it and ill just polish it and wax it every weekend for a few weeks and get it gleaming.

Yeh sounds about right tbh, because red hasn't got a clearcoat it will need to be kept restored.

Only other things I'd suggest you consider are Britemax UV resistant sealant (put on between polish & wax) and Clearkote Red Moose (again between polish & wax) both these will add extra oils to the colour to help maintain the deep glossy finish, the Britemax sealant also has UV resistant polymers in it to stop the UV rays fading the paint so quickly.

Then wax wise, when you've used up your Megs stuff, I'd suggest looking at using a decent wax - collinite or Dodo Banana Armour ;thumbs:

no mate going to keep the gsi ones for a bit i think, give them a refurb and a lick of paint and roll on them for a few months keep it looking standard gsi. then buy some decent wheels in the future, wont be putting any tyres on the gsis though so once there dead ill buy new wheels lol

its only vinyl but i think it looks cool twat to work with the carbon stuff as unlike normal vinyls its not heatable and shrinkabe so to get it to fit the contours of the roof without getting creases it has to e done in strips and line up the pattern, iv only bin doing this for 2 weeks ( my new job) but im happy with this and how its turned out

Tom, how much would it cost to have my roof vinyl'd in just a gloss black? Something i've been considering for a while as it way cheaper than painting it...
