Faded paint can make your car look older than it is. Here’s how to restore its shine:


Causes of Fading

  • UV Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure breaks down paint layers.

  • Neglected Maintenance: Lack of waxing or washing allows contaminants to damage the paint.

  • Oxidation: Over time, the outer layer of paint deteriorates.


Restoration Methods

  1. Polishing: Use a polishing compound to remove oxidation and restore shine.

  2. Repainting: For severe fading, professional repainting may be necessary.

  3. Protective Coatings: After restoration, apply wax or a ceramic coating to maintain the finish.
