I have a badly faded red car, what's the best polish to give it a shine?

[FJRider]

The last Prelude I look at doing a cut and polish had very thin paint. Tried a patch, but had to cut so much paint off it worked out not worth doing (would be no paint left on the car to protect what was left).

Just a polish often does wonders ... it's only a honda after all ...

Paint it with some matt black spray cans and then chop the springs with an angle grinder.

one of the fleet is a red honda prelude that the paintwork is pretty fucked on, i have just repossessed it from boy#1 and boy #3 is going to learn to drive in it its not worth the cost of a paint job, pretty much all the panels facing up are badly oxidised whats the best longest lasting fix

Repco stock a pigmented product called Colour Cure Plus which I used it on a red Toyota with the same problem a while back. While certainly not permanent it does a good job of restoring a finish.

No amount of waxing will fix oxidised paint.

I've tried it on two different cars and been dissapointed with the result both times. And it certainly didn't last long (in fact, most of it came off with the next car wash).

Brasso works well as a fine cut.
