      That's a nice looking Festy! And really, the paint doesn't look that bad at all; it still has some shine to it. When you said it was faded, I thought you meant, you know, like no shine at all!
      I would get some medium glaze and use it by hand in a small area; if it shines up, then go get yourself a cheap orbital buffer, and do the whole car with it. With the orbital, you won't get swirl marks, etc that you will get if you do the whole car by hand.
      If it has boobs or wheels, sooner or later you're going to have trouble with it.

        NuFinish works great for bringing out the shine...I have used it on a few Festy's and had great results. Wipe on. wipe off , no buffing.

          I'm interested in knowing how to properly use a power buffer?

          Q: Can paint that has been sun-faded "through" (like one often sees on the roof or hood) be brought back to life somehow by buffing?

          Thanks!

            This is a 94 XFi I would like to help the paint on.



            Look closely (squint) at the roof, can that be made better?

            This particular metro spent it's life in North Carolina. Zero rust, but the sun damage is noticable.
