Any other suggestions?
BTW - my car is silver. Here is a photo and as you can see, the paint is rather dull.

Thanks in advance.
It looks as though your clearcoat has broken down. Here in Sacramento where the sun is brutal in the spring, summer and fall this condition is not that rare.Try buffing it using a milder polish and work your way up to a rubbing compound that is more aggressive. If that does not remove the dullness, your only recourse will be to have it resprayed.
