t-cut and alot of hard work should bring it up. If not, a local bodyshop may be able to mop it?

how much do you think it will cost because ive been down the t-cut route and im abit of a perfectionist and want it to look like new and would prefer a pro to do it

Probably best to go round a few bodyshops and quotes from them. Can't see it costing that much. I think Ade has had his mopped, might be worth PM'ing him.

Offer someone a cash bribe for doing it, i am getting a Red GSi i have mopped for ?20 by a guy who works in a bodyshop.

In the past i have T-cut'd and polished red cars and got the shine right back up, depends how much work you put into it.

One thing with mopping them make sure they know what there doing and dont get the aprentice to do it as can screw the paint right up if done incorrectly.
