Default Silicone/Wipe on Clear coat to restore paint gloss

Hi all,

My clear coat is starting to go, had a cut and polish done and while it looks a lot better you can still see patches of failing clearcoat unfortunately. When the car is wet it still looks like new.

Until I can afford a respray, I'm keen to keep the car presentable and have noticed that some are recommending silicone tyre shine as a temporary fix and there is also permanent wipe on clear coat like Diamond Clear and Poppy's Patina. Just after something until a respray can be done. Has anyone tried anything similar to restore their clearcoat shine?

Thanks

Optimum had a clear-coat restorer that would be ideal here. However, it looks like they don't make it anymore, only the gel-coat version.
