I'm doing mine soon, but you should have posted this on the car care section. Even before you did that, if you do a search you might find something.

Blurry as in oxidation, yellowing, or all the above? I got a remedy to get rid of that and you DON'T need anything fancy. If you're trying to get rid of scratches too then you'll need a buffing pad

Please post a picture of the damage

Buffing works great. But for a cheap fix you can use tooth paste and a rag and use a buffing motion.

Also search on YouTube. A TV program showed a paint restoration compound being used with excellent results. Couldn't remember if it was:

As mentioned, toothpaste works but less satisfactorily.
