Stopping tornado red from oxidising - Page 2

JoshB3audi · 25-07-13, 02:56 PM

The natty's paste wax is a hard wax with carnuba so effective car shampoo won't stick to my car

I reapply every 3rd wash its great stuff

I was told, sand paper (technical term..), of some kind.. And a lacquer/clear coat of some kind, would do it. He was a painter, used to do concourse MGs and minis and stuff like that. (Small brittish cr*p.)

De waxed, Clayed and machined mine with Menzerna (light cut). Finished it with 2 coats of DoDo juice Hybrid Supernatural. Back in March ! Still looks brilliant although it does have a charmed life in doors.

Sunroof before ....

Sunroof after....

I've found the best way is to put it in the garage, and be far too busy to ever get the time to bring it into that harmful daylight stuff.

royston, you'll have to find a nice spot in the shade for your new toy - i always park

Love it!

I would try that but my Ur is Alpine white and it keeps escaping.

Good luck with the Red.

Right I have not had chance to have a set to at the car but I confess to being a bit worried. I have seen panels fade before but not like this.

Close up

I won't get chance to polish the car until the day before the german classic car show and I dread to think how bad it will be by then

Sunshine on a rainy day makes my car fade, fade, fade away!!!!!!!!!!
