they look great in the pics

that may work but doubt it... if done correctly you will only need to do it once anyway. But for faded pink paint i would be 100% using abrasive polishes as then you are sorting the problem, instead of doing a temporary fix

fk1000p is an amazing product, best to do 2 very thin layers, leave it 24 hours and then add another couple... i have been using fk215 as prep and that is working very nice, also worth adding some fk2180 in between for added protection, then top up with fk425 and even a sneaky layer of fk2685 as im loving the wax at the minute!!

also, just been reading through and thought would clear some bits up... -there is no point in layering SRP, it will remove its self as its an all in one which cleans, fills and protects. But the sealant will only last few days tops, so it needs sealing with sealant/wax -rule of thumb, only wax on sealant and not other way round as sealants usually contain solvents which will replace the wax -i wouldnt be leaving SRP on long, swipe test it and then remove it, do a panel or 2 at a time.

here is a thread i see the other day with cherry glaze, but there is loads of products which will work well and correct your pink paint. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... erry+glaze but i would certainly be using a machine polisher and polishing pad for pink paint, hand polishing is far too much hard work. Maybe get your self a dual action polisher and couople pads, also make sure you clay the car first to remove any contaminents
