Well I want to know what would be the correct steps to detail/restore the paint on my 66 Dart?
Like I always here about polish, compound, clay bar, and wax, but I am curious on what order they need to be done?
I was using some Turtle Wax brand Polish/Compound on the dart to help remove some of the oxidation. It would work good when I could get the compound off but the stuff dried up so fast it was super difficult to remove. I tried using my craftsman electric polisher and it wasn't much help either.
Any kits or brands you guys suggest?

Thanks alot!

Clay bar, compound, polish, wax. I like Adams polishes with the porter cable also some good videos on YouTube for noobs search for junkman2000 really helpfull

wet sand if bad enough

Wash thoroughly
Claybar to remove embedded surface contamination
Compound as necessary to remove heavy defects and/or oxidation
Polish as necessary to restore gloss
Seal and/or wax to protect

A Porter Cable or Flex polisher are going to be tremendous help if you want to spend the money on them. Specific product recommendations ultimately depend on the type of paint, condition of the paint, and your goals.

Adam's Polishes is the only way to go with either the Porter Cable 7424 XP or the Flex. All products are color coded with the pads so there is no way to mess up. All very easy to use with great results!
