Default Perfect day for some buffing!

Meguiars Ultimate Compound with an orange pad followed by Mothers California Gold pure carnauba wax and a finishing pad. Looks like new again.

Thanks! I like the 3M stuff to as well as Griot's stuff. These were cheaper and have really worked on everything I throw them at.

Thank you! I'm currently using a random orbital from Griot's Garage. Does a great job and not a swirl mark anywhere. I was showing the orange peal to my neighbor tonight. That's how you can tell its factory! Haha. The clear coat is wearing like iron.

All together with wash and dry and a dinner break it took about 4 hours. Could have been done a little quicker but I'm a little **** about the process.

I used some Mothers California Gold pure carnauba. Put it on by hand and took it off with a finishing pad. Finished it up with a micro fiber towel.
