#32994, "Car just doesn't 'shine' anymore."


          

In my area, there are alot of eclipses and talons... My car just doesn't seem to 'shine' as much as the other clipses'. Seems like my paint has dulled or something. And I know they haven't washed their cars either, because I can see the city grime over all of our cars.

Any tips?

The last time I waxed my car I noticed the same thing. I got some Meguiars(sp?) scratch-x and went over all the dull parts and shined them up. Then went over the car with Meguiars gold glass and the car looked much better. Another thing to do is get some clear coat polishing compound and a high speed buffer and just go to town. Just be careful, you CAN ruin your cars finish that way.

same reason i love it that my boy works for acura. I get to wash my car whenever, get to use their bays for working on the car, gotta love it. He he, i get all the benefits without having to work there, i just go for fun! emoji ONly thing that sucks is the hella speed bumps around the shop. I thought i was gonna crack my boys bodykit going over one of those damn things.
