Does anyone know how to have a car professionally cleaned to restore it's outer finish to its original luster?

Question

I've tried handwashing...but it never gets rid of close up perceptiple marks created from touching and insect matter.

Answer 1

Ignore the first two as they like to destroy the finish on their cars.

Tcut is NOT the way to go nor is a product that should be used on a cars finish.

To restore any finish normally all it needs is a polishing by the use of a high speed buffer. If you have never used one, do not attempt it as you can burn/sand through your finish if you are not careful.

Find a good detail shop in your area and talk to them. Tell them you want at least a 3 stage buff out (compound w/ wool pad, polish with foam pad, wax with foam pad). This should run about $55-$100 on average.

People go to a Dr. cause he is a professional and knows what he is doing. People won't cut on themselves. But at the same time people insist on trying to do car items instead of leaving it up to the professionals.

Answer 2

agree with Liam. T-Cut is the stuff. Do it inside, when the bodywork is cool, not hot. Use proper cleaning scrim cloth not some old rags you had lying around the garage. Clean off properly then use a professional wax to seal it. T-Cut removes a very thin layer of paint, so can only be done once or twice, usually just before a car is sold, in my experience!

PS. If the paint is metallic with a lacquer it won't work, just wax it.

Answer 3

what your car needs is a t-cut, something that can only be done once or twice on a car in its lifetime... other than that wax it...
