Default Paint Fade

The paint on my Milano red 'teg has faded to the point to where the paint loosk like its a nice light pink(on the hood and the wing) Anything I can do to restore it without having to paint it. I was thinking i could just have oen of my workers polish it real nice?

I heard de-oxydizer works wonders for faded paint.

Should be able to find it in auto care store or parts store like pepboys, checkers, etc...

This really seems like a common problem for that color. I've seen so many that are badly oxidized.

anyhoo...

I hear that meguiars works really well, but, personally, I only use mothers products. I don't know how their antioxidizer works, but if it works as well as their other products, it should do the trick quite well.

Go to Kragen, Autozone, or even walmart and buy the 3M Rubbing Compound. That stuff works great, you won't be dissapointed.
