Quick question....
My lovely white duco is looking a light shade of beige at the moment with all the mud staining it and seems it can't be washed off.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the best product to use to restore the paintwork to it's former glory (whiteness)?
Ta,
Drew

Maguiars has a paint restore kit, it has good wax and cut and polish. Made mine look pretty good. $50 I think it was.

You could also try a clay bar on it. $25 for the Meguiars kit or $5 ebay from china..
It took epoxy enamel overspray off mine where I was having a hard time with cutting compound.

So I used the Maguiars paint restoration stuff....it wasn't a kit but a light cutting solution that apparently doesn't affect clear coat....
Well it worked a treat on the old bus.....looks white now rather than light beige. Very please thanks guys.
A bit of a shame I didn't take a before shot...

Come and do mine now lol pin stripes stand out on silver lol
second one for claybar, cut it back clay bar it and then polish it and you will never do it any other way, you can actually feel the difference on the paint with the clay bar.
