Anybody know of any tricks to polish up / treat dull looking body panels? I've tried the coloured Turtle wax but it's rubbish.

T-cut (relatively harsh) or a milder polishing compound? Just enough to take off the outer layer of oxidised paint, you then need to re-apply wax polish over that area.

I would use T-cut on metallic paint - you don't say what colour?

How about MER?, neat. the advice for using this as a polish is to apply with a damp cloth, but I've found if used neat it's a good colour restorer without using things as harsh as T-cut.

But it depends on how much you paint has faded, as Peter (Green V8) said, T-cut is good but quite harsh (though you may need it)

Cheers,

Dave.
