The paint on my roof and bonnet is deteriorating fast!!!:(
The roof is very very dull, while the bonnet looks like it needs a wash right after i wash it. This has only happened over the last year or so because i have to leave the car in the sun all day while at work.
I need help. Firstly do you think it can be saved and secondly how can it be done.
Any advice would be appreciated.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

get it looked at first mate, it could be oxidisation that can be compounded back and then polished... but i dont understand how such a new car could have deteriorated so quickly.

If you're tight on cash and don't wanna spend $300+ on respray, try Polishing and Claying yourself.
Following this DIY, it'll lead you the right way...

i recommend go supercheap and grab some colour restoration polish...cheapest option and gets results.

I'm thinking of doing a full respray in a year or so... so I might try the clay bar and polish till then.

Dodgy black paint job...
After buying the car and washing it for the first time I realised it was orginally a CW ITR.
oh well, I guess that'll teach me from buying a car from a ***
