Hi There,

I have had my car since the end of November 2005, my previous owner kept my 440 in a mess and did not pay a lot of attention to the Paint of the car (eg. not polishing etc).

I got my car professionally cleaned outside not long after I got my car and he applied something (looked like polish but wasnt) which made it shine beautifully.

I polish my car now and it streaks and just looks very dull even after I have polished, i have used Paint rejuvenator and expensive Auto Glym / Turtle Wax Polish which doesnt do the drink.

I would like to now what the professional car cleaner man used to make my car look so beautiful or what can i use to make it look lovely and not full as obviously polish and paint rejuvenator doesnt work.

Thanks!

Try the "mild" T-Cut with the colour pigment similar to your own car's paint.

Avoid getting it onto any black plastic or rubber parts though.

Regards.

Try using some wax on it. P21S on ebay does the trick.

I'm new here so do we have a paint and bodywork section?
