I love my car but why is the emarald green paint fading? I see most green Hyundai's paint is fading as well?
Sun breaks down or crystallizes some of the pigments and plastic compounds in the paint. (And plastic headlights) Melt everything back together with a single quick swipe or spray of mild enamel or lacquer thinner with 2 to 5% lacquer or enamel clear. Even clear nail polish in 95% thinner can restore some shine, but you can't keep rubbing, it will all soften into a total mess. If you don't want to pay a shop to re-clear or paint your car, just buy a can of clear glossy spray and spray it into a jar and mix a ton of thinner into it. Dab a rag into it and apply it on a hidden part of your paint.

Buff it back into place. They make a polymer that does that. If this is found helpful, please post as such. TY

hi from uk the fade on paintwork you describe is not uncommon on this colour and especially on red which tends to go pink ? may i suggest you try this remedy which was shown to me some years ago by a paint sprayer expert ? choose a small panel that has faded then use some metal liquid polish ie brasso or similar then pour a little on a clean cloth and rub on paintwork use straight motion not circular / left to right or up /dawn rub with light pressure over the panel then use warm soap water and sponge to wash the polish off then dry paintwork with clean cloth you will find the colour and shine has come up ? also feel the difference ? if you are satisfied ?? then with LOTS of patience? continue with proceedure panel by panel what you are doing is removing all old wax from paint and it is this that has dicoloured due to sun/heat then when car is finished? use a wash/wax detergent for final wash/rinse and leather off i recommend you do not try rushing this job or get fed up ? 1/2 way thro if you want car to look good please come back with update on how it goes ?
