Very dull bonnet advice?

[dazat5]

Hi all got myself another 850T5 (black) and the bonnet is really dull no shine at all in it infact its near grey!, anyway i used some t-cut that got most of the black shine back but it still looks tacky, can anyone advice me on what produts to use to restore the paint and give it a nice gloss again?

thanks

It all depends what condition the paint is in and how much paint is on the car. You could use something called G3, it's an abrasive like T cut but it's a little more agressive, usually it's used with a buffer. If your paint has bits of dirt in it then maybe you should give it a fine sand first with some 1500 wet and dry paper and lots of soapy water, this will remove any stubborn bits of dirt in the paint and give you an even surface.

You will then need to bring the shine back with G3.

Cheers for that , i looked it up and theres loads of G3 paste, do you know what one i would need, the t-cut i used got some shine back, but theres tiny particles in the paint still

Only joking im sure some of the detailing fanatics here will be able to point you in the right direction

I would make sure you wash/dry and clay(bar) the paint before using any abrasive.

I'd be after using Menz power gloss to cut it then something like final finish to get it up nice. But you need either a random orbital or rotary polishing machine to do the work.
