It is a definite improvement, but it still looks like crud. Stock paint jobs suck and the only way to really make them look great isn't with waxing, buffing, etc.

You have to take all of the orange peel off the clear coat first by wet sanding it 1500 and 2000 grit, use a variable speed buffer and 3M buffing compound after the 2000 grit, then a 3M polishing compound, and finish it off with a professional grade glaze, and then a nice carnuba wax. It only takes 30-40 hours to do a car and you will have a show quality vehicle!!

If not you're stock paint job wil always look like a stock paint job just a little more shiny after you wax it.
