Default Front fender problem

Iv had a dent on my front left fender for a while now and all the body shops wanted way to much to fix it but this guy offered too fix it for me for 200$ he said itd look brand new... so of course i went for it and well it doesnt.

Its almost perfectly back to shape but you can see where he heated up the paint to get rid of the scratches from the paint, I was wondering if there is anything product out there that can bring this shine back to the paint?

I was reading using a clay bar after i was it then wax it but iv tried waxing it and it has made no difference, then i saw the commercial for "wipe new" and looked into it and it says not to even use on paint unlike the commercial showed, any good ideas to bring the shine back?

Also one other question, where can you find leather brushes? i bought leather cleaner and conditioner but i cant find a brush to use to scrub the leather without scratching it.

thats what i was thinking and getting the manufacturer spray paint but i just want it to blend in well dont want it to stand out even more.

another side question which i was thinking bout all night is i want to make my exhaust a little bit louder but not to loud, i just want it to have a little chug to it while it idles and be a little more throatier when driving but i dont want it to be too loud and annoying in the cabin, i was thinking just taking out the resonator with the stock mufflers but some people say cabin noise some say none and no difference in sound, what do you think?

honestly im not to sure either on that note. Ive heard of people removing the resonators and saying it barely made a difference. Others say its annoying loud. I know if u remove the mufflers it will be fairly loud but im not sure on the resonators. Why not bite the bullet for us and see how it sounds. Shouldnt be to expensive to have a shop do it. Ur just cutting out the piece and replacing it with a straight pipe. LEt me knw what u decide as im curious as to the results.
