Oh my goodness ... I am not very good at using this forum, YET.

But I was trying to write above the quotes; Nice VRS! Will watch this thread.

And below:

Waxing red paint that has started to deteriorate by the sun is only a very temporary fix. It is weakened and will only continue to do so. Machine polishing or not .. only temporary fix. This only happens with the pure colors Red is especially bad when it comes to this .. Only way to prevent it is to keep the paint well sealed up with wax.

But if its coming off very easily, it might indicate that someone used spray can paint on the car to hide some "blemishes". Normal car paint shouldnt get off that easily. But when it has started to pink, it will come off more and more easily until you polish your way through so be careful!
