I had to wash my red one the other day (first time since I bought it 5 months ago  Embarassed ) as some birds had used it as a toilet. Found some perfs in the paint I hadn't spotted before, so must get round to giving it some TLC (fat chance!)

Anyone know anything better than T-Cut for use on the red paint?

Fading red paint is a problem!

Everytime you t-cut it your thinning it out to only make it fade quicker next time Sad

I know - and wouldn't have chosen red, but few options were available (all red!). If it's anything like my white vans, it won't take much T-Cut to thin it through to bare metal!

I washed everywhere I could reach with a soft broom in the rain (free water).... Then a few days later I parked different, opened tailgate & wondered why it was dirty as hell....... When it was washed it was backed up to a hedge. Lol
Really must wash it again soon. All over that is,

Best to get it machine polished BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING....
It will bring back the shine, but if used by someone who doesn't know how to use it you'll wreck the paint.
