Dull finish

Hi Ned, some good advice already on here! It certainly sounds like your car has had some form of paint protection poorly applied! Not a fan of paint protection myself unless you use the car every day in all weather and its done properly!

My car is midnight blue too, it's a strange colour and can look dull in some light but when polished well it can look stunning in bright sunshine and under garage forecourt lights in particular. Porsche use a medium/hard clear coat and their finish is better than most too, it will polish up well with a decent compound but might need going over a couple of times to remove the protection coating!

A bit of perseverance and I'm sure it will come up stunning! :thumb:
 
Hi rob. Does your car look green under certain lights? I'm not even sure mines midnight blue. I'm guessing at that.
The meguirs ultimate polish arrived this morning so I took into the final stage with the polisher and got a coat of wax onto it. Gave the windows a quick clean, rubbers etc.
To say I'm happy with the finish now is the understatement of the century. I never once thought that I'd get it to that level of clarity. Of course there's still light marks here and there but the difference is amazing. I think with better polish, pads and little more experience, I could make a job close to most pro's. No doubt I'll have trouble uploading the photos but I'll try my best.
After all, I want to show off.lol :grin:

I'm not really up to speed with photo sizes but they're all taken on my iPhone 5. Can't really understand why ones ok and the next isn't. Anyways, the paints nice
