How do I make my mini shiny again?

[joannasevs]

I have an Austin mini and the paintwork has gone dull and patchy on the bonnet. Is there anything I can use to restore the shine? I've tried Tcut to no avail and I need to sell it soon.

t-cuts only good for throwing in the bin, you need a buffing machine and some compound, followed by some hand glaze or finesse (3m products) and then a decent coat of wax. Might be worth taking it to a valeting company rather than buying these products

Thanks for that Teash

I have found Mer (or Merr?) to be pretty good. But, at the end of the day anything you can do at home will be a lot of effort for limited results. My personal opinion is that once the paint has really 'gone', live with it or respray....
