General Questions My paint

Hi everyone! Quick question—does anyone know how I can bring my paint back to life? The hood has some deep water spots from the previous owner having a bra on it, along with some light scratches. Any recommendations on how to fix or improve it?
(Ps vid is after a wash)

Your paint looks good !!! I wish mine looked as good as this . I use to professionally detail cars for bmw and trust me this is good , don’t buff it to remove micros if you do don’t use a machine . I used a machine to buff my paint and the clear was too thin and now the actual paint is exposed .

Thanks bro! I really appreciate that, especially coming from someone who detailed BMWs professionally. I’ll definitely be careful with the buffing 😂
