How do i make my red strip moulding thing go back to red - it is faded and pink. I use armourall and it looks red for about an hour. Is there any way to permanently make these things stay red.

is it hard plastic or like a softish plastic. I know in Vic there is a guys that dos that stuff and pinstriping and thats all he does. WA should have one of those guys as well.

Cheers

Have done a few E series XR red stripes lately

First off, clay them and use isopropyl alcohol as the lubricant for it
I use an EDGE 2000 blue foam polishing pad attached to my makita rotary and buff at 900-1000 rpm using a light cutting compound and then vanilla moose hand glaze
The moose is an oxidation remover that can be used on rubber seals exterior trim plastics and vinyl and to remove scratches and add wetness and shine to paintwork.

Last car I did was an EF tickford xr6 wagon cobalt blue
Menzerna Powergloss compound by machine
Vanilla moose by hand with foam applicator pad
Autoglym bodyshop 07B
Klasse Sealant glaze x 3 coats

Thing to do with them is seal with a paint sealant multiple times
What causes them to go pink is some shampoo's that are too high in the ph level. Should be ph 7 and wash rinse water
Due to the material used for the stripes, water causes spots that then need vanilla moose to remove them.

just a question, how much would all that stuff cost to buy. Would it be expensive.

Cheers

Once the box of vanilla moose arrives from USA in a few days - a week, It's $16 dollars a bottle (500ml)
That will last anyone quite a reasonable amount of time
Powergloss is available from HWimports, crash supplies (SA) and other paint and panel supply shops
Check HWImports.com.au

Autoglym is $30 per 1 litre bottle, Edge 2000 pads are around $30-35 per pad.

hehe i bought new ones a while back ouch the were 60 bucks a peice so that option will be expensive to, oh and that was just for the doors

and all this stuff is like polish yeah. I sounds like if you did it on teh car it would make it so shiny and bring it back to new.


Cheers mate

Excellent detail. SOunds like you have had success with this before. Any suggestions on where to get this stuff from in WA.

Thanks for the info.

No one else in australia has clearkote but there should be autoglym distributor around there somewhere in WA

HW imports are in western australia.
