What's the best way to bring back the colour on my car? T-Cut or just a good polish?

Farecla G10.

Better than anything Halfords sells.

I have a 500ml unopened bottle of G10 and G3 for sale.

Polish is no use. You have to bring the paint back to life first or you'll just be making the faded paint shiny.

Although after using the G10 I used Meguirs 3-stage system.

1. Paint Cleaner
2. Polish
3. Wax.

T-Cut takes a layer of paint off but not as much a the G10 so you got more control then use the Colour Turtle Wax to bring the shine back
whats so hard about that ???
