Paint Restoration

[markinnaples]

I know there is an abundance of experience and information on this site, so I thought I'd ask here first. I have a black 2004 BMW 545i that I mess around with, and while most of the paint looks decent on the car, the hood looks absolutely abysmal. The Florida sun has taken it's toll on it and now I'm trying to revive it as I really would rather not repaint it.

Can anyone give me some ideas/tips/tricks to getting the shine back and restoring the dead black paint? Appreciate any help you all can provide.
