Hi all,
For anyone interested/following the thread on my one faded panel, I've just finished the three-stage Meguiars treatment (Deep Crystal Car Cleaner/Polish/Wax) and it's pretty much done the trick. The faded panel now looks much more like the others though not 100%. To the casual eye, though, it's likely to be unnoticeable, unlike before when the panel was decidely pink compared to the others which were red. Apart from that, though, the car as a whole looks completely different - it's like it's just come off the assembly line! All the little swirls etc are gone and it's gleaming. The whole thing took about 2 1/2 hours (washing it first, then cleaning it with the paint cleaner, then polishing it, then waxing it) but was well worth the effort.
Now all I need to do is fix the aerial....
