Default POLL: Re-Paint or Wet Sanding - after 30K?

How many of you repainted your AR after 30,000 miles (whole body or just the hood)? And how many just did some kind of wet sanding?

To fix a couple of scratches or just to make paint look new

Default I can't imagine re-spraying a car after 30K miles. To me that is still a new car.

In fact, I would never have a car re-sprayed unless it were in an accident or had other trauma. You simply can not reproduce the factory paint job in a standard body shop.

Then again, I am not a show car owner. I drive, wash, clean, wax, and drive.

Good buff and polish is all you should need. Take it to a good detailer.
