Old pilote galaxy 2001 reg washed back end of van and paintwork was dull ( possibly oxidised ) tried some mer easy cheap shine which didnt work also tried the bobby dazzler still not impressed
So now i am thinking weathered deadish paint so a mild abrasive cutting paste ( T cut ) which has removed some dead paint polishing cloth went white also panel felt a lot smoother then used turtle wax
Now looking from side has a nice shine but looking directly still appears dull a lot better than it was though was hoping for reflection from it
The items i used i had already anyway
Dont want to use rotary mop on it too many bits to damage and or compound will be harsher abrasive than t cut
I would imagine that if a dull bit is left without polishing out it would just reappear whereas t cut out the dead paint or oxidisation would almost give you new paint
So is it a lot of elbow grease to replace the mirror shine or is there an easier way
