Hi guys, first time poster and one of my first forays into detailing :)
My car is a single-stage solid white, and I've had her for about a year now... she's my testbed for all my works. She's somewhat of a garage queen but she gets some sun every now and then.
So I had some stains at the front bumper, I whipped out OPC 3:1 and started removing the stain for some spot cleaning - after that, the cleaned area became much whiter than the surroundings as in this picture.

It's quite faint, but you can see it under the black spot (that's due to my camera btw) and another whitened area at its 8 o' clock, all under the curve.
Now this is an obvious sign for paint cleaning... so is it possible to use OPC 3:1 in spray form after a wash to revitalise the paint? Will it be do-able? Or would it be better to mix OPC into a bucket of water and wipe with an MF? I'm open to any other recommendations as well.
Thanks :)
