You haven’t wet sanded your way up high enough. You got to go to 2000. Then polish

You could try some McKees 37 Hydro Pearl if you want a silicon coating spray. Try that over some collinite.

Been reading about ceramic sealants that claim to bring shine and brilliance back to an old finish. After years of serious oxidation on my 89’ SN, I’ve had to remove decals, wet- sand (some areas all the way to 400 grit), then work my way back up to 1200 grit, then compound, polish, and wax (using high speed polisher). Oxidation is gone and gel coat is significantly better but still not getting the showroom shine that I’m looking for. Ceramic sealants seem to be very expensive, at least the ones I’ve seen. Any more economical suggestions out there on what I should use? Thanks in advance!
