For the red paint work you might wana try some g3 stuff or maybe eve menzerna.

Red paint just oxidises really badly but with regular maintenance you'll get the paint back to a good standard in no time.

Might do it by hand then polish it? Any wax I can get from Halfords that's £7 or less cause that's all I've got till next week!

Still want to polish it, I never found that it makes it orange? Only if you don't get it off properly? If not magic anything anyone would recommend for a polish to bring the red back after the g3?
