Sorting out red oxidised paint?

Kit · 19-07-10, 10:07 PM

My type 81 paintwork needs some love, could anyone recommend me some products and the order in which to use them/technique?

I want something a bit better than bog standard t-cut, do I need a sealant or a glaze?

will need to wet sand the paintwork if your not too bothered AG resin does a good enough job but you will have to do it every month not big a issue if you like looking after you car

Early Audi red paint is a PITA as it will etch easily even with rainwater.

After polishing, I use Klasse Sealant glaze to prevent it as much as possible, topped up with a layer of a durable wax (such as collinite915).
