Start lurking on the Autopia.org forums, lots of great info on there.

Meguiars M105 on an Edge yellow wool pad (medium cut wool) via Makita rotary, then Optimum Polish and Optimum Compound mixed 50/50 on a white Lake Country CCS pad via rotary as well. S100 was the wax on top.

I'd suggest a Porter Cable if you're just starting out; much more user friendly using a dual action polisher vs a rotary in the beginning.

I'm a Menzerna lover... I can't wait to "re-do" my car because its like getting a new car every time..... and then turn around and get it painted another tone of red

Mine is oxidized to hell right now but I'm not bothering with it until i acquire my last bits for my complete S5 TII swap.
