I think I screwed up

So, I tried Menzerna FG400 with Katsu Dual-action polisher but I still can`t get the shine back! How do I get this mirror reflection back ? Any tips, guys ?

FG 400 will usually bring your paint back to LSP ready or almost LSP ready based on the type of paint. Could you post a picture to help us out?

There is no way of getting rid of those scracthes unless I repaint. And, I am not going to bother doing it again!

Going to order Menzerna Super finish SF3500 and see if that helps with the shine

After looking at the pictures I`m thinking repaint is the only way to really make a big difference. FG400 should have brought some life back to the paint. I don`t believe 3500 is going to do much for you. No harm in trying.

Thanks rlmccarty.
I am just going to go ahead and reapply Meguiars UC. The car looked better with this alone. Perhaps, this time I`ll use UC with my DA polisher. It`s becoming useless to waste anymore time or effort on this car and I might even start looking for a new car.

If you are wondering, how I ended up with so many scratches ... it`s my first car since I got my license, I had a narrow gated driveway and eveytime I tried parking in the driveway, I ended up bashing the car on the gate pillar

At least you have your first car. I totaled mine out when I was 17 years old. Luckily no injuries. 41 years later accident free. So there is hope. Lol
