How to make black frame shine?

The right side on my bike for some reason today looked a little hazy on the frame. I tried some cleaners and spray wax but nothing I try can get it to shine. Does anyone know what to use to make the frame more glossy?

I'd try Plexus, Back to Black by Mothers or waxing it. One of those should work.

Sounds like a lot of trouble but since it's paint I'd pay for some clear coat maybe?

I think waxing will bring the shine back or may be get a clear coat of paint, although that will be some trouble.

Always used WD40 on my bikes, either wipe on with cloth or small paint brush. Keeps it clean and shiny!

I was actually out at a Harley dealer with some friends yesterday and one of the dealers was looking at my bike. So I asked him if they had anything that could shine up the frame. He reccommend S100 engine brightener. I guess they use it on black engine pieces. Well I bought a can and it worked very well frame has a nice glossy black look now. If anyone needs a can I think the website is s100.com

I like the sound of the s100 brightener a lot more than my "clear coat" idea! I just bookmarked their website.
