The shine is too blurry pobably because they didn't apply enough clear coar and on some areas it's unevenly applied. What can I use to restore original shine and to even all areas with same shine.

Depends upon the circumstances, but if you paid for a re-paint and it's not satifactory take it back and insist they put it right. If you try to repair there mistakes you'll void any warrenty they gave you.

It probably needs to be wetsanded. Those show car paint jobs that you see look wet because they wet sand after painting.
 
Did you pay extra for the CC? In other words did they sit you down and say a SS is X-amount and a SS with CC is X-amaount? If not sometimes they mix the CC in the SS, it is cheaper than spraying an extra coat of CC. Are you tottaly sure there is CC in the "thick" parts? I agree take it back and find out what happened. I'm sure it was wet sanded, but maybe they didn't do a good job at it, there are many paint shops that dont have talented people when it comes to wetsanding.
 
yeah .. the paint "shrunk" wihle it was curing.





my door did hte same thing after a month. It looked fine when i picked it up but eventually got blurry.



U just need to WETSAND it and it will look brand new again and will stay that way.



i took it back to my paint shop and they did it for me. looks like new now.
