On friday whats the best stuff to use on

1.Red Paint work to get it red again not a faded red

2.Black bumpers, want them black again as they are kind of fading,

3.Then im going to de-badge the rear whats the best way of doing this?

While on this sort of subject, where can i get tints for the rear windows and the quarter panel widows?

Thanks!

de-badge

borrow your mothers or sisters hair dryer heat the badge going across it. then simply peel it away from one side. if not use a credit card. then use a polish or turps to clear the rest of the glue

T-cut is t-cut, it isn't colour specific. Use the t-cut then polish it to protect the paintwork.

Probably more you can do, I'm no expert though.

You've seen the pics of mine
I just used:


Carplan black trim wax

as for the paint:


Carplan Colorfast T-cut (red)



But at the end of the day, my car seems to have been well looked after even before I had it. theres a slight fade from one side after removing the doorstrips, after a few T-cuts the rear badge fades have gone, but they were minor anyway!

mine was slightly out, but as I said in my previous posts, hard work and effort will sort it. Just takes time, I did mine over a few months!
