flame red is fine, its just the paint vauxhall use is cheap and nasty. if you get it sprayed in a good quality flame red paint then it wont fade anywhere near as bad.

I'd use G10, followed by a wax.

Flame red is alright as long as you look after it from new (like i've done)

im considering this as my GSi is flame red n is fading on the bonnet/roof and along the lines of the car.

ive had it polished and a top glaze, but only lasted for a while, now its back to the same pinkyness. thinking about getting it fully resprayed. been quoted 800 notes. is this a good quote??

the previous owner of my current car was a woman and didnt look after it at all. ive got different coloured wing mirrors that are pink, but i regulary wash and polish mine up good, and it looks nice. but i dont really like flame red as u can never match the colour
