I'd rather use some elbow grease and a clay bar to help it along.
I've used the clay bars in the past to clean paint but not to try to bring up the shine on a dull paint job.
Do you think it would lift the shine at all??? I'm sending the truck down the road soon & would rather not put much more $$$ into it (hence the cheap paint job).
Your experienced input would be greatly appreciated.
