Default Re: Best Car Wax for Fading Paint

As a certified Old Guy, I am beyond wanting to polish an entire car. In 2015 I had a professional detailing company do a complete paint correction on my 1995 Polo Green with 32,000 miles on it. Despite the mileage the paint had become somewhat scratched and dull. Two guys spent 6 hours in my heated garage in March working on it n my lift and the results were spectacular. I had to touch up stone chips with Dr. Colorchip prior to the work, and while that doesn't fill the chips it made them hardly noticeable. The detailer commented on the paint of the C4 Corvettes saying it was quite hard compared to newer paints and therefore would buff out well. A the time the total cost was $450, which now probably seems like a bargain. But even at twice the price I would do it again if I still owned the car. --Bob
