How do I make car paint glossy or shiny?
The paint on my car is looking a bit dull. I'll repaint it if I have to, but I'd rather not spend the money. Is there a way to make my car paint glossy or shiny without paying for a whole new paint job?

However, if it was caused by an act of God, natural disaster, or vandalism, you can usually file a claim if you have
