you can find a TON of good how-to videos on youtube. Also, for a lot of detailing info/supplies/good stuff, try autogeek.net (make sure its .net, not .com)

Yea I planned on wetsanding by hand with like a sponge type pad so it will form to the body of the car and my fingers aren't making impressions. I wanted to buy a Porter Cable anyway to detail my T/A and his truck is just a good reason for me to do that!

So I know what rubbing comound to use now but is there any specific polish I should use?

Ive had good luck with the sponge pad! and for the polish id recomend 3m perfect-it II you might have to go to an automotive paint store for that or order it online.
