If the paint is really dull does it mean a respray?
Or is there any magic that can be done to make it look shiny and new?

The thing is that the original blue is lookin almost grey, it's that bad. So, the plan is get it looking shiny and then work on getting it to that dull matt colour afterwards, hoping that it'll still look blue.
Thanks for the advice, I will be getting to work!

Try Washing It With A Cup Full Of Bold 3 In 1 In A Bucket Of Boiling Water. Use A Sponge And Then Rinse It Off With Cold Water











YER CAN USE ANY SORT OF WASHIN POWDER BUT THE DORIS BUYS BOLD

the colour on yer paint is still there its just hidden under the smeg and scratches that have built up on it. like any polishing you need to take the top layer orf to get back to smooth shiney stuff
