AutoGlym bumper/trim gel stuff, yep i think halfords sell it.

Also, get to work T-cutting the whole car to get it back to bright red.
Then wax it to keep the colour red. :)

benns got here before me again! bring the paint back to life and buff it up, take the headlights and idicators off and buff these up too and they'll look like new. use a machine polisher with a foam head and a compound such as g3 then a g10 for smoooooth finish.

then give it a damn good polish, nothing bleachs more by uv than vauxhall red paint!

the tail lights may look good tinted red, alloys and a shiney exit pipe and you'll be a happy chappy!

look aut for some 'Ferecla G3' polish

i used it on my car and it brought the paint up to looking like new

then wax it. meguiers, auto glym etc etc.

back to black type stuff on bumpers

i have a set of 15" Speedlines for sale.

slam it, nice round backbox, and stick an SRi spoiler on for good measure:thumb:

Can I use the G3 Compound without a buffing machine?

Make sure you polish it well afterwards, as the G3 will expose fresh paint, so it needs protecting.
