Ok so I've decided to tackle my ta's paint job. It's black and the previous owner did not take care of it,has swirl marks pretty bad and does not have much shine. I would like to do the full paint correction process,never done it but am confident if I take it slow and have the correct products I can get it done over a few weekends. So could some pro's tell me what I need,pads,compounds,what pads to use with what,etc....would like to get through local parts store if possible, thanks.

I hear that wetsanding with 2000 grit sandpaper then finishing with meguiars ultimate compound and a good wax works well.

You will need a dual action polisher like a porter cable or griots. I would recommend Megs 105 with a LC orange pad for compounding, 205 with a LC white pad for polishing, then finish with a good wax or paint sealer.

Griots DA with a 5" backing plate and the 5.5" LC CCS pads is my choice. Its the strongest polisher and the cheapest. I've used all 3(PC xp/ Meg's G110v2,Griots) It comes with a 6" backing plate. You'll need to buy a DA 5" BP separately.

No. Please don't give advice on something you obviously know nothing about. That's a good way to screw up a persons car. OP check out the 'ask a professional detailer' thread. There is a ton of info there. It will take a while to learn what works and what doesn't. Also check out my thread on doing paint correction on a black Camaro.
