thanks for the reply, the polisher i have is just a fixed speed random oribit. I will look into getting a porter cable soon, but for now what compounds should i be using, and in what order to acheive a shine on my paint, because right now it looks flat like primer. i rattle canned some clear rustoleum over my first test peice and it looks great. i have a hood im working on now though and would like to get a decent shine out of it without using the clear.




Have a look here . That page shows you most of the tasks that a professional detailer does.

The "How to Polish Paint" section should answer most of your polishing questions.
