1.) I've just washed my car and noticed its fading PINK orignannly it was a flame red colour, but due to people washing it n the sun (thats my opinion) its fading, where can i get a good re-spray within the West Midlands, also while on that subject what is the name of the red thats on the New Vauxhalls?

2.) Whilst also washing my car, as its not all all colour-coded i have black trim here and there, i tried using shoe polish just on the boot handle, which has bought it up a bit better, but as it will take a long time, doing it all like that and wasting shoe polish what is the best thing to use as i want them balck but not like a shiny black?

Any Help Will be appreaciated!!

I'd suggest getting a bodyshop to buff it before getting it sprayed. you will find it comes back to its original colour. Usually costs about £60-£80.

t-cut should sort your paint if you didnt want a re-spray or auto glym paint renovator

Fairy liquid can bring your trim back to its original, thier is other products as well like back to black trim elbow grease needed though
