To get the paint good looking again you'll have to use an abrasive polish and a rotary buffer, wet sanding shouldn't be necessary. If you don't have any experience with machine polishing, it would be best to give the job to a professional detailer. Don't just trust anyone to do the job, its easy to do much damage...

i mock detailing, but theres a time and a place for a fecking good going over and it sounds like yours is now..

you could spend a grand + on detailing gear but id just pay up to have someone else do it.. someone i know does it and has different specs of work, anything from a wash to 200 hours:eek: thats a glass like finish for sure:smokin:

just someone to look at it and quote you for a correction then protection/wax etc, after thats done just maintain it well and you wont need it doing again for ages.. :)

i'd be temted to have mothers 182 done, but parking dents and scuff just dont buff out:crap: when my 5's painted im going all out, its staying so clean even the cliosport boys will be put to shame..:p

Black Hole, as good a product as it is, isn't a polish - It's a pre-wax glaze. You polish before a glaze (if needed), and wax/seal afterwards :cool:

You're as bad as me Bill... But I have 3 buckets :scared:

Like Bill said, Black Hole is a glaze. It's good for filling defects, but after a short while it'll look the same again.
I like Menzerna polishes and Chemical Guys Hexlogic pads. I used them on my Bora today and it came up a treat :smokin:
