The paint on my car has certainly seen better days. The paint does not shine as it should anymore, even after using products listed here. Paint just seems dull and in need of some revitalizing. That being said, does anyone have suggestions for a high quality wax (to be used with buffer) that will put some shine back into the paint. I am willing to spend up to $100 for such a product.

Thanks

Depending on the color and severity of oxidation, it may be dead-dead. By that I mean that within a day of putting elbow grease into it the paint may look just as bad as it did before.

The only way to get rid of really bad/dead paint is to strip it down and (if there is enough left) clear coat it. If not, strip it down and get it repainted.

The car has been in Florida for a few years now, so I'm sure the summer heat hasn't helped much. I am attempting to fix it first before going the whole new paint route.

The old formula Liquid Glass might be what you need. I think the new formulas with the cleaner/wax in different bottles separates the properties, so you could try that as well.
