  • Paint losing its shine

    The nose of my car just doesn't shine nearly as well as the rest of my car (which is not much). What can I do to shine it up?

    im having a similar problem with my car and im not sure what to do about it, ive used a clay bar, that seemed to help a little but i guess the best thing to do is get a new paint job

      If the usual cleaner wax doesn't do the job, use some polishing compound on it, followed by swirl remover, followed by polish, followed by wax.

                OK...help me out....I can't find this stuff anywhere. Not even online.

                Does anyone have any other suggestions? I need a real good wax.

                  I have a feeling you didn't look too hard. The stuff is also available in most autopart stores, though the fine cut and show car glaze might be a bit tougher to find.
