Well i'm planning on cleaning this Punto i've got tomorrow to get a few decent pictures and put it on Auto Trader. Only problem is, the guy i bought it off went a bit over board with the polish and got it on a load of the plastics, making them nice and cloudy

I'm off down to Halfords to buy a couple of cleaning bits tomorrow morning, anyone got any ideas what i can use to get this off?

I'm also hoping to polish it from its current dark pink, to it's original red paint work without a machine polisher... Anybody recommend a polish to use? I've got plenty of AG Super Resin Polish but not sure if theres anything out there which is better for using on red paint? Cheers!

For the bumpers and plastics AG Bumper care gets it off really easy even says on the back that it does it
And for the red im guessing T-cut but I will leave that to Rich H as I've never had to try and get red paint back from pink

Depends how bad they are tbh, but yeh a rubber, or all purpose cleaner and a toothbrush. Then a trim dressing afterwards.

Re. paintwork, why didn't you say in your PM the other day?!

If by hand, yeh unfortunately something like T-Cut or AG Paint Renovator when the paintwork is faded and SRP isn't cutting it.

I wasn't thinking at the time...

But thanks for the help again Rich! I'll see if they have any elbow grease for sale in halfords as well took me about 30 minutes to polish the bonnet alone the other day
