How to stop red paint fading?
Discussion
I've inherited an older Astra finished in flame red. It is badly faded/oxidised and had a matt pinkish finish. I've had very good results using a dual action polisher and fairly coarse polish, luckily for me the paint is pretty thick although Vauxhall didn't use a clearcoat for this colour. The car is coming up in a uniform colour with a glossier finish. I'm going to finish off with a much finer polish to remove the remaining marks left by the initial polishing.
My question is, what recommendations do people have to prevent future ultra-violet attacks on the paint?
What sealants/waxes can filter out the UV which, I believe is causing the problem?
