AFAIK they all get laquer on top of paint so you cannot "restore" the paint
unless you are lucky and have a resprayed car, in that case nothing beat the original T-cut and lots of hard work...

Hey Andy,

I know one or two things about this subject. Respray is one option. The other option is to polish it everyday without fail.... about 3 hours a day just about does it.

Understand the options now!?
