Hi guys, I got an ek9, but the colour seems to have faded away, its more creamy kind of colour, i just wanted to know whats the best solution for this without having to spend lots on a full respray. thanks guys
 
try getting it detailed, machine polished etc. Maybe get a professional to do it if you have never done it before.
 
also take note that championship white is kind of an off white.so even after a full respray it would still have that slightly cream tint to it..its really noticable when parked to another white car.. a white subaru for example..:)
 
As stated, Champ White is more 'Racing Magnolia' anyway. Ive had two fresh imports now though, and they both came with a fine coating of dock-crust that I couldnt shift with a mitt and bubbles. Halfrauds has started to stock three different types of clay bar kits now. They aint cheap and require a good afternoons graft but they make a massive difference so give one a go.
I'd recommend meguiars quik clay kit... I've bought two myself ond one for a friend with a grime covered Cupra in the past. The halfords pack has a leather and wax in for £25 but you can get just the clay and lube spray by themselves from amazon.
Meguiar's Quik Clay Starter Kit: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike
 
yh thanks for the advice guys, i bought a T cut clay bar kit which includes the spray, wax, microfibre cloth.

I also bought autoglym resin polish with a terry cloth, my plan was to wash the car, then clay it, then polish it, then wax it, and hopefully that will work :D
 
My tip would be

Duragloss shampoo - £9ish
Bilt Hamber Clay Bar - £10ish ( Really good as you can use water as the lubricant instead of expensive sprays)

Poorboys SSR 2 - £14ish
Poorboys White Diamond - £14
Poorboys EXP Sealant -£14

Plenty of fresh microfibre clothes and some good hard elbow grease!! My car actually changed colour!! :O
 
Methods mentioned above should sort it out.

If you decide to get it machine polished, get it done by a pro...the workable paint thickness on the Original CW paint on the EK9 is tiny, thinner than a sheet of paper!!
