Can adding some more clearcoat on top of the old stuff restore the shine?
No matter how much I wax my '97 bike I still don't get a really gleaming "new" shine to the paintwork.
Also, I've got a few chips which I plan to fill in by brush and get flat and I'm wondering whether to then put the tank and fenders etc into a paintshop for clearcoating all over - if that is a way of achieving a better glossy finish. Would that also get rid of any surface scratches?
I like the decals on mine (black bike/red & gold decals) and the paintwork is mostly good and so I'd really like to avoid a full respray.)
If I use specialised products to restore the shine, then it'll still leave me with the problem of having to clearcoat and blend my touched up paint, so I'm not really sure which is the best way forward...
