Alright Lads

I have noticed that my white V has lost all its sort of glossy finish on the paint and was wondering if any of you lads with white starlets have done anything to bring them back up i want it resprayed in the same colour eventually but jst not doing it at the moment as im going away with work for a few months any tips ?

also i seem to have tiny speckles of like rust on the rear bumper as if it has tiny grit chips and starting to rust but i clean it every other day ? also alot of carbon sticks to the back and washing it does nothing ?

any help is greatly appreciated thanks alot :)

be really careful using g3 as it is a mega harsh compund and will burn through edges easily!
i would reccomend something like autoglym tar remover for the crap on carbon etc on the back of the car, and the orage specs cos it aint rust

de tar, wet superfine, g3 buff, polish buff, wax. your car will be like new, get a mate or someone who done it before to do for u or u might have to get a respray.

Have you heard of that clay stuff? Iv never used it but a couple of my mates have used it and it brings the car up amazing, apparently it takes a good few hours to do the whole car but really worth it, not overly expensive either, think it's under £20 for a package to do a couple cars worth

Get a mop on it dude i use meaguirs ultimate compound make sure you spray water on every now and then when mopping n move about alot otherwise youll burn the paintwork. Same if you do it by hand. Oh and do it panel by panel so perfect one panel then move on youll notice the difference!

i use the g3 all the time on all my cars and my dads trade cars he getsin that are dull and have nasty paint work but dont uses a mop, i just cover each body pannel at a time with a fine mist of water(i use a hair dessers water spray bottle from super drug) and use the g3 like polish, going in figer of 8 motion and it works a treat, then polish it up after, my glanza was proper nasty, covers in scratchs and very dull flat paint but after a couple of hours with g3 and then a quick polish afte rit was sparkly white agian

I've always been a bit scared of machine polishing, Toyota don't seem to use a lot of paint on these cars so I'm nervous of doing damage. I'm guessing it saves a fair bit of time and effort though yeah?

Never know, I might get a bit braver in the future!
