There are some real good valeters in the club, but what I do is, clay, correct with a product of your choice (there are many), polish and seal. Everyone has their own methods & products, but if you have a read through this section, I'm sure you'll find the answers

Thanks Ron, i will have a think before i take the plunge and buy the car, i am going to ask about to see how much it would cost to get someone to bring thing back to life

The naff paintwork will be a good bargaining point.
