Paint reconditioning???, Is there such a thing? Options

[urbandork]

My paint on my 95 hatch fornt and rear bumbers could use some freshing up is there a way to like buff out the dirt. If i take an eraser to it and rub it the color looks way better.

Also im not sure if my car has a clear coat on it as some places are a little bit rougher then others espcially the roof and hood.

Wet sand it very lightly. Use lots of water and a very very fine grit paper. You only want to remove oxidized paint, nothing more. Then wash it all off, dry it, pour on some 3M Machine Polish, and go at it with an orbital buffer.

That'll have your paint new-looking and shiny. Just make sure you have enough there to actually wetsand the nasty paint. Sometimes the paint is so oxidized that you end up wetsanding to the metal
