If it's the factory finish it should be pretty good - if an accident repair/new panel, it wouldn't be unexpected. I don't think you can do anything about without respraying

As it's an '04 I'd be right on to my dealer, mate. Also what panels are you seeing the poor finish on?

Is this the whole car or a certain panel?

My boot lid is noticably matt, smooth and no orange peel, just not as deep a gloss as the rest of the car. Had hoped with all the polishing it would come up but nope.. defo been resprayed badly in the past. Will have to get that done soon.. another
