About 6 months after you get it back, wet sand it lightly (2000 grit or so) and buff it out with compound and then swirl remover. It's crazy how much more shine you'll get out of it just by doing that. Just be careful with the buffer...newer paint comes off fast.

I wouldnt sand one stage paint as there is not a layer of clearcoat, its just integrated with the paint, thus you'll take the paint off too.
