don't cut into it unless its proper faded, once you start cutting its game over tbh, turns into a regular job, then hello white car!

Know what you are saying but cutting compound is better that T cut and should only need doing once in a blue moon...

Test it first and dont use a machine polisher unless you know what you are doing...

what i'm saying is don't use it if your paint is ok and you just want it shinier, its far too aggressive and is the beginning of the end for your paint

Cheers for all the replies  :grin:

So final thoughts, should I get a red one?!

Don't just buy it cos it's red or not Buy it cos its a sound car with sound Body work ie NO RUST... The rest can be sorted...

Have a search on here for tips on buying a MK2... Fadded paint is nothing if the Body is sound!!!
