What *OLD* sloppy paint can look like after *HOURS* of wetsanding, buffing, waxing WOW
Here is what the car looked like 2 second day I bought it. Only the hood and fender were partially shiney.
Since yesterday was like 55degrees I decided to do some work on the car. I wet sanded the entire car with 2000. I could of used 1500 but since the clear is sooo thin I went with a less abrasive paper. I broke through in a few spots but who cares. Then I buffed away. And waxed with Crappy turtle wax. The finish came out extremely better than what I expeted. O yea total cost ZERO DOLLARS. I "borrowed" everything from work haha.

After wetsanding you buff, then wax. It wont haze at all.

Ehh im not sure how much better it can look with factory paint. I measured the paint thickness at work and it is to OEM specs.
