Anyone got a good tutorial on how to do it?
My red corsa, is now pink, i want to get it back to red.
I've got a buffer, what else do i need?
And how can i go about making the car shine?
Thanks, Ash.

G3 isn't for paint restoration. It's for flatting back paint. You want something more fine like some 3M FinessIt.

Yes, but it's too course for the job, you want something finer than G3 for restoration. But that was some good internet regurgitation there

as i guess your a beginner at polishing etc, i would suggest doing the following to get your pink car back to red safely without permanetly damaging the paint-
Clean the car
Dry the car
Clay bar the Car (meguires quick clay from halfords will be fine)
Clean and dry the car again
Then Autoglym Paint renovator (from halfords)
Then meguires paint cleaner (halfords)
Then Autoglym Super Resin Polish (halfords)
Then a wax, meguires gold class from halfords will be ok.

G4 it restores old paint and also removes hologram/sticker marks
