wax

I've got a red corsa...I had it for nearly two years and have noticed the colour has started to fade...my question is...how often do I need to T-CUT? I've not done it yet all i've done is wash it.

Another question...I have some scratches on my alloys some are pretty bad, how can I bring them back to looking new?

I don't know much about cars so try and keep the technicalities to a minimum...lol

dont t cut it at all, t cut is for removing scratches

you want to wash with proper car shampoo then polish with a buffer, wax every few months, maybe get the car mopped by a bodyshop every year

mopped?

They apply a cutting compound to your paint that takes the smallest of layer off. This brings back up the shine!

Thanks guys for the advise.

G3 is a cutting compound you could use, you apply it as polish and rub it off with a lint free cloth, as above takes a layer off and reveals the original colour. :thumbs:

Where can I buy this G3 paste compound from?

autosupplies, a few places that sell it around here are p.c.s and minorfern etc. i dont know the local buisnesses around you but any place that colour matches paint should have it.
