Before you decide to paint your dull faded car, try to buff it out.

Look how my beater car came out! Looks like a brand new car!

It went from a dull orangy red finish to a deep wet lookin red color with a mirror like finish.

Meguiar's Ultimate Compound "walmart" $6.00
Meguiar's NXT liquid wax "walmart" $14.00

I used Eagle One Nanowax spray $6.99 (pepboys) after each carwash.

so did you use a buffer?? or do that by hand because my car looks just like your first pic

i used a DA polisher but if you use the meguiars ultimate compound, you can do it by hand.

post your results

Car was mint before you started so no wonder it looks good after a proper clean :lol:

red paint oxidizes the most.
therefore buffing and waxing makes the biggest difference.
other colors will have less results.
i believe you buffed it, but pics look 'photoshopped'
looks good, though.
my teal coupe did not respond as well.

Yes. Red oxidizes the most in my opinion.

I buffed it with a DA polisher. How does it look photoshopped?

The reflection of the trees are on the hood. Its the real deal. The Meguiars ultimate compound works very well.
