What is best way to restore shine on MB c240?

My MB c240 is about 3 years old now and is starting to lose its shine. What is the best way to give it that new car look? Will a new coat of wax be enough?

I prefer to have it professionally done because I am too busy. Any recommendations?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to ship you to the Show Me State for a relaxing working vacation; to get away from it all for a while. :v

MB paint from that era is very soft so it's dull because it's all swirled up and needs to be clayed, polished to perfection and then waxed to protect the finish. Wax by itself will not do it. Ask around and see if someone can recommend a good detailer, maybe even the MB dealer. My MB dealer does great work, specially on my old black c-coupe.
