What do you use to restore paint? My 02 is white. It seems to me like the paint is getting dull. It doesnt seem to be as shiny as it used to even after washing. What can I do to it, to kind of wipe the slate clean and start over.

Is there any products avail locally at stores. I need a process on what to do. For example, I would like to strip whatever crud/oxidation etc.. is on there (maybe a clay brick??). Then step by step put back on what ever it is I need to make it showroon shiny. As you can tell I have no idea where to begin or WTF i am really talking about.

I was thinking about just taking it to a detail shop that specializes in doing this, but if its easy enough and I could save cash and somebody doesnt mind telling me a step by step with products to use, I would really appreciate it.

clay bar would help a little. The best thing to do would be to wet sand and buff the entire car. but that takes work and a lot of time
