Default trying to get my car looking half way decent

I was wondering if you guys knew how much it would cost to get a car wet sanded and polished or re-clearcoated. i got a couple of quotes just wondering if anyone has done it or knows someone who has and what you have payed. I want to paint the car a different color but for now im just going to keep it black. some of the paint is fadded with not much shine so i want to get the shine back. i know i can wax it and buff it but then after the next wash its still the same as before. what do you guys think?

my advice to try: its cheap and relatively easy. get some RaceGlaze Polish, use it. then get some nano wax (i like eagle one) and use that. the raceglaze will noticeably take off all that oxidation and the nano wax will put the shine back in it. worked for my moms red 93 lx 5.0 vert. it had a wicked oxidation prob and i did this and its been since last summer and its still fine.

An electronic buffer and some TR3 wax works pretty good
