I've decided to attempt to restore my paint myself (swirlie marks)... for the cost ($400), i can do exactly what the body shop does, and that will buy me a buffer and whatever amount of polishing compound i want!! It's just time consuming more than anything.


Anyways my question is what are some good brands of polishing compounds? I'm talking the stuff that's fine grit that dulls/flattens the paint.

Any tips?

Thanks!

I use 3m products followed by either Klasse or Blackfire.

3m makes some damn good stuff. designed to get the swirls out..very time consuming and be very careful with the buffer...you will burn your paint in no time..also work in verysmall sections..hope this helps some...julian ledford...shaw airforce base..sc
