r u goin for mirror reflect effect ?
if yes, use autosol or some sort of polisher and soft cotton fabric and rub them .
the autosol would fill the empty spaces between the paint particles .

actually i didnt hope fot mirror finish, juz wanna get shiny like car painting. Autosol is a brand or......

edit, ok google tell me that autosol is a brand name, but which product should i use ? can get it on hardware shop ? thx

Mothers brand , u can find it at here : https://www.autopolishine.com/

so....expensive

High quality product will make ur things look nice

but too expensive for me...

if i buy polishing compound, do i need to sand my panel surface with 2000 grit sandpaper? Or i juz need to apply it without sanding? i scare the polishing compound cant remove the scratch leave by 2000 sandpaper...

lol just buy autosol is enough. i think it's still cheap. long time ago i was bought around RM10 only. Didn't know its current price hike or not..

juz bought a Autosol Metal Polish RM9.90

edit: try on my unwanted side panel, the effect of sanded 2000 grit + polish are more better than without sanding.

I bought my for RM 7 ++

me use tat autosol but still got scrach
do i hv 2 sand more
already use 2000 grit

i dont see any scratch after 2000 grit sanding, try use better cloth to polish ( use the cloth that u feel smooth on touch)

i feels smooth but i still got lots of tiny scrach

sure got scrach 1 . Because of the sand paper . For best result , use rubbing compound , can remove all the scrach

like tis 1 ka?
