This leads me to my next question.  I bought a cheap orbital polisher and
applied the rubbing compound then the polishing compound, but it still is
not shiny like the rest of the car (except when it is wet).  Could this mean
that the car has been clear coated?  I know that it was resprayed at least
once. Or could this just be my lousy painting, it was my first time. If you
need a picture of the car to tell go to
