My brother's car (non-vette) has a bit of a parking lot rash. Scratches run down the side of the car. It's a very old Honda Civic, and the quoted cost of repair/repaint is higher than the value of the car.
I told him that I'd see what I could do with it - and worse case scenario, he'd still have to paint.
I got the scratches out with 1000 grit wet sandpaper. It actually looks pretty good. The problem is, the finish is a bit dull where I worked on it. Not a huge deal, but I think it could be improved.
What next? I don't want to order any special products, but a bit of polish that I could find at my regular autoparts store that could help gloss the repair areas would be great.
