I love the Bright Red and looks great when it’s New fresh polished it just pops.

but red seems to get Dull looking and maybe oxidized fast? And does not look very good after time it seems.

If you get a New Race red and have it Polished and put PPF on it. Will it keep it bright and keep that PoP for years to come?

love to see photos and hear what you guys think.

Love Bright cars at PoP I have a Grabber Blue now.

Since it’s clear coat there shouldn’t be any fading of the color.

Correct, asked that very question, of some folks that know paint, (industry type) before ordering the RCR. Once upon a time red would fade, not today.,,, oxidized nope

My care is 3M classic past wax, no magic goop. Let others BATA test the new & improved products :question:

Yeah my 93 notch was terrible about fading. Didn’t matter what I did.

More 3M paste, Mustang is such a small car, most likely will wax it 3 x year

I have 3M ppf for the whole front end on mine since Nov 2018, got the car in April 2018. Here's how she looks after little more than 2 years, i only waxed it once during this period. car is a daily and not garage kept, i just do basic maintenance touchless washes. I'm planning on doing Ceramic coating soon

Would you say the Red looks as bright as the day you got it? Or does it look better and brighter in the areas that have the 3m PPF on it?

it must be the settings on my computer because that looks CO and not RR. I've been staring at it for a good 5 minutes too.

It looks about the same and haven't noticed it dulling yet. The color pops and i get a lot of looks/compliments every single day. But mine isn't the cleanest, it's been more than an year since last detail so i'm going to do a ceramic coat soon. Also i don't see any difference from front to rest of the car. You can get a PPF for the whole front end and then do a ceramic coat over it...

CO is my favorite color, and it's looks almost like Race Red in pics. But even the RR looks different in pics depending on the outside lighting. adding few more unedited shots from my Note 10+ in different lighting conditions

Mine is orange, not red and I haven't had an issue and it's been on for four years now.

I had SunTek PPF installed on mine, which is better than 3M. I heard that some 3M PPF can harden or yellow over time.....XPEL or SunTek is recommended instead.

2015 with full front end ppf / lower doors / rockers and rear wheel impact areas. Finished with c-quatrz finest.

It doesn't get any shinier!
The pictures don't do it justice it has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
