however, if you buy a decent carnauba wax, then you can maintain the shine after washing.
Unfortunately, as with any car, you're fighting a losing battle when it comes to nature, as the sun will get at the paintwork

As for the polishes, I can't rate Autoglym highly enough. I use high defintion wax, its very good. Red paint is just a pain to keep but you have done an ace job so far by the looks of it.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

heres a pic of my demo panel,im a professional detailer by the way just needs machine polished,paint sealed,then waxed.what is happening is the uv rays from the sun are discolouring the pigments,more so in red than any other colour! If a car is machine polished back to red,sealed,waxed,it will not fade again,my scrap panel has been out in the weather for months on end,even in direct sunlight and its still nice n red,well a patch of it anyway

yeah i can get certain bits nice and shiny ha but some parts look a bit dull, i do want a full respray anyway so its nice and shiny
You're mad… I don't know how much of the paint is original on your swallowtail but you should think of a respray as a last resort! Pay for a professional detailer to spend a day on paint correction and it will come up looking way way better than a respray! for far less money..
