Title: Colour Restore
Post by: Geordie on 10 September 2010, 13:32
Hey

Ive got a MK4 Golf in Metalic Black and the colour has faded in the near 10 years its been going

Just wondering what people would recommend for restoring some colour to the car and remove slight scratches from the body work.

Cheers
