Eddie44 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 A Porter Cable Random Orbital buffer and a truckload of patience are the two biggest ingredients to a good shine. I am a believer that there are 3 or 4 product manfacturers of shine products that will do equally good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZJoeD Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'll tell you, I just used one of those Mother's Clay Bar kits on my '95. I was skeptical, but it was easy and did a great job. A lot faster than buffing.Now, I still believe that good buffing with Megiuer's #2 followed by a polishing with Megiuer's #7 followed by Megiuer's #26 wax in unbeatable, but I don't always have the time or energy for a project like that.Try the Clay Bar, you will be surprised.

What about pads and polishes/waxes. Where should I start? Paint is in pretty good shape but somenone before me left some swirls so I want to do it right.
