If it looks faded, you have a lot of work ahead of you. if it's just dull then it's not so much work.



is it clearcoat paint?

pay someone the $75 or so to get it done would be

my advice.



Other then that I would have to go into extreme and lengthy detail on

this subject on what type of machine, pads,chemicals and

technique to use which would all be determined by the condition

and type of paint on the car.

its done i used a cotton cover and some mild compound. it turned out really nice. the paints kind of its last legs, the ******** who painted it did a poor job prepping it, so theres plenty of bubbles and wierd things in the paint
