Goes well with the tow-away zone red!

Guards Red or GT Silver

In the next days, I will close the deal for a S. I hesitate between the Guards Red and the GT Silver. My concern about the Guards Red is that many times, red cars change color with the time, caused by the sun. Also, because it is not metallic, normally swirls appears easily.

What is your experience with Guards Red?

Red or Silver, I'm going with the aerokit and black wheels....

You are correct that red shows swirls almost as badly as black does, but so far using nothing but microfiber towels on my car has prevented any from forming. I think my buddy's car speaks for itself. 19 years old, 70K miles or so, still looking pretty red.

Swirls are not a problem if the car is cleaned correctly.

If you already have swirls, the following link will showcase two items that will solve the problem and keep it from returning.

http://www.autogeek.net/menzerna-of-...FYZM4AodvUQAcg

The Menzerna polish works like a miracle and will not harm the clear cote. I used a Flex orbital buffer to apply, and never had to repeat the process for three years on my red ZO6.

I'd purchased the car which was sitting on the showroom for two months, and its paint was a disaster to say the least. But none of the swirls would "catch" a fingernail, so I knew I could get it back to perfect condition with the Menzerna.

The Wolfgang sealant goes on easily and its hard finish lasts a long time; it will help to prevent future swirl marks when applying detail spray, etc.
