How do I make my car paint shiny and lustrous?
My car paint seems a bit dull. I don't want to get a whole new paint job, but I would like to brighten up the paint just a touch! Is there a way to make it shiny again?

“That’s a great question! The best way to restore the shine and luster to your paint is by buffing it with a car paint glaze. Paired with a mechanical buffer, you can get rid of the dull paint and make your car look new again!
If possible, add a bi-weekly waxing to your
basic car maintenance schedule
. This will lower the risk of your paint dulling too much.Buffing may not always fix the situation, though—so if the glaze and wax don’t help, you may have to consider a
paint job
.However, if the dullness of your paint has been caused by a natural disaster (e.g., not just the sun, or any other normal type of wear and tear), you may be eligible to use your comprehensive coverage.
If you don’t have comprehensive coverage, try using the

app to compare quotes on policies that include comprehensive so that you can make sure you’re getting the best deal possible. We’ll get you customized quotes from top-of-the-line providers instantly.Hopefully the glaze and wax work some wonders, and that your car is soon back to its shiny self!”
