colour fading

[theorekz]

my car is a Dark Grey Iswara A/B... it hasnt went trough polish for the past 4 yrs... Recently i polish n wax it with Turtlewax product...

under strong sunlight(evening), my car seems like got 2 colour..... a faded grey colour on the body... a darker(more to original) on the rubber spoiler behind..
The difference quite significant...

is there any product that can really restore the colour?

btw, polishing the car too much will skim off the paintwork ar??
thx

I'm no car care specialist but logically, once you notice the paint work has faded, i'd say the only way to bring back the original shine is to go for a car repaint. A car polish/wax can only help to bring out the shine and prolong the process of paint fading but it certainly won't help to restore a badly faded paint. Which is why upkeeping is very important. I'd say a normally driven car should at least go for a thorough polish twice a year.

theorekz,

if ur in kl, u could check out swissol in hartamas.. was refered there by another zth member.. the guy there could give u some advice on what they can do..

bought my car 2 months ago and have some ugly faded looking spots.. took it to swissol and was told that these spots can be removed.. the prices are also quite reasonable..

just my 2 cents.. no harm trying to get an expert's opinion
cheers

has the car been baking under the sun all the time?

if it has and you haven waxed your car for so many years, most probably the clear coat is gone and ur paint faded as an effect. if its true clear coat is gone, no other choice but to repaint. can't spray just clear coat on it (that's y its very important to protect it =) )

if u wanna try out, u can try and get those color restorer, found some in places selling those car care stuff. no gurrantees though =)

good luck!
