On the miata forum, there are a few guys having a discussion about their paint.



The car in question is a poorly cared for 1990 Classic Red, with faded bumpers. The paint on these years and color is notorious for fading, and there's nothing you can do but repaint.



The advice given to him was:



'to wash the car every week and apply a coat of 303/armor all/wd40 to the bumpers. This will only last a week, but by then you're recoating it again anyway'



He seems pleased with the results, and his paint is dead anyway, so I really couldn't find a reason to tell him not to do it, or what to correct it with...



thoughts? :sosad :nixweiss
 
:sosad INDEED! If adding oils is making such an improvement, *I* would rather see him use Meg's #7 or something similar. At least that could be "sealed in" with a topper. Plus, using stuff like ArmorAll/WD40 won't make the eventual repaint any easier!



His paint might be "dead", but who knows what it'd look like if he polished off the worst (topmost) of it.



Generally, the use of products for things they weren't designed for is just a bad idea.
 
Is it truly faded or just bad oxidation? Has he tried something like AIO? I have seen some pretty amazing pictures here of transformations with AIO?
