Is there any other compound that work well with a mop as I've tried tout but it doesn't seem man enough and regarding being clearcoated it's not its an early solid colour which was applied as single spray system

TBH, you can't beat a bit of elbow grease for fixing faded reds ;)

Well even if its by hand what products are good for restoring other than tcut

I managed to revive an old Cavalier with Mer :y

Was a good 5 hours or so though :o :o

for a good polish and glass like gloss you will need 2 days per part and big parts like hood, roof several days ;D
