Pic: Meguiar's revives dying paint
I just waxed my car with Meguiar's cleaner wax, preparing for the El Nino. It makes a nice shine under the clear blue sky don't you think?
Paint's dying tho, I want to repaint it the original color. Does anyone have the color code for this year? I believe the color was Flame Red Metallic.

Yup, that stuff works good, you should top it off with their Step 2 polish, here's a pic when I did their Steps 1-3.

Here you go man.....The WA number for an 89 with Flame red Metallic is 8535 and the code is 74. Hope this helps...trust me i know how hard it is to try and find the numbers for the original paint....Ihad the same problem.
the other day when it was dead at work, i decided to clean my car and after i used the mothers show time it had a haze over the car so i bought some of that mothers reflections stuff and i have to say that stuff is great to use and isnt hard to get off. i just used a diaper coth and it came right off with no effert like iv had with some of the miguiers (sp)

I use that Mothers showtime too but I use it with their claybar that it comes with.After I'm done doing that I just buff the car and there is a beautiful shine afterwards.

Well it looks like I'm going to have to paint it soon. I had a miscalculation while parallel parking today. Gotta pull the dent and then repaint the car w/ the 9535 code. Thanks to all that helped me out.

That's good to know. My paint is starting to fade aggressively now. My car may look like a beater now, but at least I can make it look like a nice beater if that's possible. I think I will have to try some of the that Meguiars.
