I have a red car and over the past 12 months it has become duller and duller. Some sections (bumpers) are totally shineless. It also looks like it's had a streaky paint job in parts as it seems to have dried dribble marks. In other places there is pitting (I think it's called), where there are white dots.
I'm not a car washerer or polisherer and just take it to the Car Wash around the corner when it needs it. I spoke to them recently and asked about the lack of shine and asked if it needed cutting back and a really good polish and where would they recommend. They said there was no hope for it and it needed a new paint job. They even said the paint was coming off and showed me their white cloths which had red smudges of paint on them!
Except for when it's out and about it's kept under cover and it didn't look like this when I bought it so what's going on?
When I told a friend recently they said red paint always fades - I'd never heard of this before. Is this true? Any suggestions anyone? And what would a new paint job cost? It's a '97 Ford Laser.
