    My wifes car had a panel sprayed prior to her buying it.Is a little duller than the other panels and I would like to bring the shine back up on it.Any ideas? Its a dolphin grey metallic. No replies about bringing the car back to where i bought it.It wasn't crashed just scraped but got bad paint job done

    Thanks

    if you had said it was shinier than the others, you would probably be advised to give it a good waxing or even bring it to a bodyshop to get a compound. if the newly painted panel is duller, it sounds to me like it was a bad job. often, car sales companies will give their panelbeating to the cheapest bidder. same thing happened to my sister's car a couple of years ago. she made them do it again.

    T Cut. Gentler than compound.

    if the finish is fairly rough, there probably isn't that much you can do apart from polishing it a lot!
