I'm new to the forum and i just bought a 93 90 quattro. The paint is pretty faded on most of the car, what would be a good way of making it look alittle better.

 

Wash, clay, polish then Wax or sealant.

If it's really bad, it will need a harsher polish, or compound. It is going to be a lot of work, if the car was neglected.

You might even want to contact a local detailer & see what they would do, or just have them do it for you.

 

Clear-coat dulling[/i][/b] - has the appearance of oxidation, i.e. paint surface has little or no gloss and may exhibit a slightly ‘grey’ colour but can usually be rectified without the need to re-paint. This can be brought about by abrasive washing which simply dulls the paint; touch less carwash washing, which uses an acid that dulls the clear-coat and / or simply from exposure to industrial fallout and UVR, etc.

Wash the paint surface and dry thoroughly
Clean the paint with chemical paint cleaner ( Zaino or Klasse All-In-One) using an orange foam pad at speed #4, this may take 2-3 applications
Apply a paint surface protection[/ul]
