    Exclamation Small paint issue on the car

    hello,
    -----What I did on the car ----
    Front hood had a small paint chip like 1cmx0.5cm in size, so I put spot putty and dried it and then sanded it with


    1000grit wet sanding paper and 3000 wet sanding paper.


    After sanding i put White touch paint on that spot putty area and that covered it up.


    --What is the problem I have now on the car ----
    Now, I see the area surrounding the paint chip is dull, and shine/mirror/glossy look is gone near that area,


    I know I sanded a layer of something on paint while working on it.


    is there anything which i can spray on it to restore mirror/glossy/shiny look?


    I dont have professional spray gun or air compressor, can you suggest something ready to go like a can or something?


    Please tell me brand/link if possible.


    Thanks a lot.

    You need to polish it.

    Correct. Polish should bring back the shine.
