*I* would suggest investing in a Porter Cable random orbital polisher (7424 or 7336), along with some foam pads, and some nice polishes. This machine is completely safe and will make a huge difference over trying to do something by hand.

I use Menzerna and Poorboy's products with great success.

There's lots of information on this site via search, and another invaluable resource is www.autopia.org

If you look at the stickey at the top of the page, you will see a faq about the porter cable.

Read it, then go to autopia. com

Just recovered my nose with it, after a Chicago winter.

Thought I was needing a repaint.

Then naturally, look for Zaino... after Menzerna or 3M swirl remover.

Or You could just search!

If the paint is cracked, there isn't much you can do about it.

Remember that time is the most important aspect to achieving a desirable finish. I know I have spent countless hours detailing my car...and I still am not satisfied.
