They make 3000 grit sandpaper. The car was a total loss that I bought at a salvage auction for $5800 and fixed for another $6000. It was close to $30k new and had 21k miles on the odometer. The repainted parts (roof was not painted) are now more smooth than the factory finish on the roof. I probably would not do the same thing to a new car, but on anything old or faded you would be amazed at how nice a job you can do of restoring the original paint.
All my vehicles, except the 1992 Ford truck, stay in my garage which makes the exterior finish stay in great shape. While I may not be able to quantify any real improvement in mileage my feeling is surface drag is much lower than an old oxidized faded finish. Even if not I would still do the same thing.
