    How to shine interior cab paint.

    exactly as above if you don't want to wet sand (i don't think you do in there lol) then use rubbing compound, I use 3m super duty or heavy duty whatever it is, followed by machine polish, by 3m and then if you want some hand glaze or swirl remover, mirror glaze etc.
