Repaint

I have a 98 Intrigue GL w/ black paint. Needless to say, the paint looks quite bad now (scratched, dull, etc.) Big mistake going with a black paint job.

What are the best options for fixing this? Repainting the whole car? If so, what prices am I likely looking at?

Re: Repaint

Before I spend money to re-paint the car, I would go to a professional detailer to see what they could do first.

Re: Repaint

get out the carnauba wax and get to work buffing. Buff too much and the uv clear coat will come off. Armor-All the plastic running board and interior vinyl especially the dash.

Wax, wax, wax will cover up everything. Your car will look like a shiny 1-cent gunball.

I had a ton of tree tar spotted all over my car. I thought I would just buff it out and try tar remover. Wax actually worked better by drying up the tar spots which I would later use my fingernail and scratch-out. Use old T-shirts.

Tar is the worst. Carnauba wax is the best.
