Fading black roof... How to restore?

[Chriss]

Hi all,

The black roof on my ds has been fading for a while and is now a fair way from being a shiny dark black!

I've tried using autoglym SRP, scrubbing it hard for probably close to an hour (for the whole roof) - it appeared to make a difference at the time but a day later when it's dried the grey colour is back.

Also tried t cut (no specific colour) but that doesn't appear to make a difference either.

Is there anything else I can try myself or am I better off getting a detailer to take a look at it?

Thanks for any help

How bad is the fade on the paint? If it hasn't had any protection including waxes and sealants the fade may be able to be restored using a professional cut and polish. Mine wasn't too bad and looked great once I polished it but with it being black, I keep on top of it.

Hope this helps

I use quite a lot of product (sealants/waxes) to try and stop this happening, can I ask how old your DS3 is ?

Have a look at using AM Details AIO Glaze. You will be amazed what this stuff can do.

Thanks for the replies...

I wouldn't say it's THAT bad, I'll take a photo tomorrow if it's not raining to give you an idea of how it looks.

It's early 2011 - so just over 5 years old now

I'll give AIO glaze a go and report back
