Im sure if Mark looked at your car he would fine loads of scratches and flaws. I would never use an autowasher on my cars, they are just nasty. Waxing a car is very relaxing, and it lets you get to know the bodywork well. Youll spot stonechips and potential problems as you polish it. Not all flat reds will fade, depends on the pigment used and paint quality. Toyotas used to fade when red the worst, Fiats are bad at it too. My mate had a 1993 Passat in bright flat red and it still looked great recently.
