By my gas tank in the back of my bus the gas has ran out and it making my paint look terrible does anyone know any solution to this and is there anyway to bring back the original luster and brightness of the paint. It really looks gross so if you know how to fix it please tell me.

Is it original paint??

Regardless, if your paint is not chemically ruined you can try to machine polish it out. If the gas affected the structure of the paint the only choice you will have is to repaint the area.
