Are you talking about this? If so, that's completely nonabrasive.

wouldn't bother applying that. If you just did a full correction you should just need to apply a final layer of wax/sealant to really achieve that last 10% of the look. A glaze doesn't serve much purpose at your stage.

WOW. That's a savings of $30. Thank-you.

This will complement the Meguiar's quick detailer I already have.

I've bought stuff off eBay before, but never Amazon. Am I buying from Amazon (store) or an individual?

EDIT: OMG. I've made a huge mistake Watch from 1:50 -2:00.

I've actually waxed my car atleast 3-4 times before the end of last year. Got my car painted (Pearl White) in summer of 2011.

EDIT 2: What is the difference: 7, 20 and 21

EDIT 3: Please note I have a Pearl White car.

EDIT 4: Haha sorry bud. I just realized how frustrating it must be trying to explain it someone inexperienced like me. I thank you for your patience.

random orbital machines dont really speed up the process very much.

There are 3 kinds of machines for polishing:

  • Random Orbital. Weakest action but also pretty harmless.
  • Dual Action (combines a small orbital action with medium speed rotations) - Best for beginners
  • Rotary - fastest and most aggressive. Easy to burn through a finish.

    I have used a 10 inch random orbital like the HF one and it was way too slow to accomplish what you need.

    By the way you dont need 3 more coats of wax. As mentioned what you need is a good polish.

    Polishing and older car will take time but you need a medium cut cleaner, a lighter cut swirl remover, and then a fine cut mirror finisher.

    I use the meguiars range of products like this:

    Also lots of tutorials and information on youtube on the autogeek channel. they also have an online store although a lot of the stuff they sell is expensive.

    If your car is this old and you go to this much trouble, you might look into headlight polishing too. Also glass sometimes needs a good polish.

    and for what its worth I just apply wax by hand.

Mirror Glaze 7 with a wool buffing pad after you wash it clean

don't let the buffer sit in one place or buff dry

you might need to follow up with swirl remover polish because its black

and don't try to get every last scratch out like others are saying you can burn through the clear

This is the stuff I used. Picked it up at Harbor Freight when I went to get the orbital buffer. It is supposed to be a polish/wax replacement but I'm not sure what it really is (i.e. wax, glaze, polish). Worked amazing though.

The glaze I use is very easy to apply. You literally just put it onto a microfiber cloth or something, rub it on the car, and then rub it off, then wax. Very simple and definitely worth the results if you have a dark car. And it doesn't leave any white spots like wax does if you miss a spot. :)
