Astra Vxr from pink to red

Had this Vauxhall Astra Vxr in lately, the owner wanted the paintwork red instead of pink which is understandable so onto the detail:

Lovely british weather, kind of hid the pink:








Car was washed then rolled inside and clayed, nothing really came off:


Paint depth readings were taken:








Condition wise, it had clearly oxidised but the swirls were also adding to the pink look:












So onto the test spot to settle on a pad and polish combination:

 

With that settled it was onto the correction stages:

 

At this point I decided to roll the car to check on progress whole car 50/50s:


















So back inside the rest of the car was corrected, I then put a finishing stage in, the pad washer water was looking slightly used at this point:


Then protected:


Wheels were removed and protected:


Engine bay was in very good condition so just some watermarks and plastics dressed:






Then the car was rolled out for some final pictures:

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Completely agree Simon it should be a problem of the past.

 

Around 9 years old, not really a lack of clear coat means that the sun is damaging the actual paint so oxidisation is occurring, the bumpers had been painted and clear coated and were perfect.
