on my car and it ended up dulling the clear coat around the scratch...the scratch looks better but now it all dull around it...i used polish and glaze and wax onit and it works for like a day then its dull again....any help would be great...thanks

You need something finer. Try Griot's Garage Fine Hand Polish.

Ideally you want to use a random orbital. If you went back and forth in the same direction you dulled it.

what should i do tofix it and should i take it some place to get it done?

You can do it yourself if you're careful and go slow from here on out (sounds like you got a little wild).

Whenever you polish something you move to a finer and finer grit until you get the result you want.

It may be that you got so wild you took the clearcoat away. The underlying color is dull (the clearcoat is the shine). If that's the case all you can do is have that panel sprayed again.

With very clean & dry fingertips lightly feel the area. Does it feel rough or smooth?

likely wetsanding and machine polishing is in order... hopefully you have not gone through the clear.

I did this on my last car which was black. Man I was p!!$$ed I took it into the dealer and they passed me over to the cleanup crew. they used some liquid wax and power buffed the area for 2 minutes and it was gone. $20 tip for that kid!!!
