Default PY owners: Restore faded paint?

Man my cars paint looks a little lighter than most PY ITR's I have seen. I dont have a garage so it gets parked outside alot and never gets covered. I was wondering if anyone has a good method to bring my paint back to life.

appearance forum would probably help better with this. Im sure theres some kinda wax stripper and revitalizer or something like that. check meguiars they got all kinds of that ****.

I just repainted my front lip with a spray can of PY from a local paint shop, came out like sandpaper lol

Thats what I fiqured. I bought some mequiars paint cleaner and some mequiars color Rx stuff. Its suppose to bring the color back to life. I was just wondering if there was anything out there better.

There is a Honda-Tech meet on the 27th and I want to car to look halfway decent.

then finish it up with some very good wax. second coat it if you have any energy left.

I sometimes use this for when I want that extra...


But for the most part I use these two &

The only thing is I wish there was a store close that carried the Zanos product so I could try them...

But I think the Meguiars stuff is just fine if the effort is put in.

i know my buddies at a body shop use alot of stuff from 3M, some punks drew some obscinities in a friends car while dirt was on it and it scratched the paint when they did it, so we washed the car, then dried it nicely, then used some 3M machine glaze or something like that, and it pulled those scratches RIGHT OUT and made the paint look like new, i want to buy a bottle for me, and do my WHOLE car, he also told me i should :-)
