I just bought a 2010 White Micra and after washing all the black spots off (possibly artillery fungus - total nightmare), clay barring etc. I noticed the paint is super dull, like flat white and this isn't deliberate (inside doors is shiny). I suspected it was just oxidation from UV so went over the whole car with a cheap Toolstation sponge pad on my random orbital sander at full speed with G3 Pro colour restore compound from Halfords, followed by G3 superwax. Results are pretty poor, still very dull paintwork.
Have other people had this experience? Any advice? I also learned a valuable lesson as the G3 was a nightmare to get out rubber trim, used back to blank in the end. Thanks!
