wash, re-polish, get some sealant on it then wax. this is common on reds.

for around £20/22 you can get jetseal 109 which is a very good sealant.

or this which ive still got half a bottle left and its very similar to the jetseal but cheaper

dont forget your discount code when ordering :wink:

yep both are pretty good tbh but jetseal 109 tops all of them really and is worth the extra imho
