Sorry for hijacking this thread, but as my 300D is the poster child for fading...any suggestions on the best approach to this? I've done plenty of searching on the topic and I've seen rubbing compound, clay bars, etc. Which am I least likely to do irreparable damage with if I start with it first? I'd like to avoid respraying the car just yet.
