Those into detailing...How to get the deep paint color back

[Guest Anonymous]

My car is verona red, but over the past couple of months it has begun to lose its nice real red color in favor of a more oxidized red looking color. I have a porter cable, which I have successfully used, but I was wondering what sort of products I should use to get the deep red color back. If anyone is into detailing please let me know.

Try the following: Wash car and dry, remove emblems, 2 applications Zymol HD Cleanse, 1 application Zymol wax (with buffer), 1 application Zymol concours wax by hand, put emblems back on. Will take hours but you will be amazed. I did the same treatment to my Alpina B9 and the result was so good that I decided not to paint it.

Check the "stickies" at the top of the messges, or pose your question, but it's been asked many times before!.

It's also safer because it removes only the oxidation. Rubbing compounds take some of the good paint as well as the bad. Takes less than one hour.

worthy of the product.

The HD cleanse, as Tim says, does an amazing job of cleaning old paint and road residue. I saw one of their reps give a demo at Tech Fest and removed scratches from a black hood with HD cleanse!

It even smells good.

If the Zymol method does not work for you, look up Color sanding. In a nutshell you wet sand the area with very fine sandpaper ... 2000 or 1200 and then use Glasurit Cutting compound (toothpaste consistency). After the Glasurit you dry the area off, it will be very dull but after you apply your preferred wax coating the finish will turn out with a mirror shine.

Do a search on 'Color Sanding' on the web to get the detailed version..

Good Luck.

then use Glasurit Cutting compound

Good Luck.

i'm curious...where does the book state you must use glasurit?

Zaino. I use it on my 350Z and my Z3. It is a wonderful product and the porter cable does a great job with it. It is a process wax and will take some time the first time you use it, but once on...WOW!

I have had great results with Klasse all in one on my granada 69. It is good at removing oxidation and returning a nice shine.
