OK, are you supposed to wax it after polishing?
im using the green tub turtle wax polishing compound with a 10" random polisher and its not shining up nearly as glossy as it was after the paint tried before i wet-sanded it. My final wet-sanding was done with 2000.




If you are using one of these



with Turtlewax polish then you pretty much have no hope of ever getting a good shine from your paint. I seriously doubt that one of those things will even make the paint nervous....

If you want a 'good' finish then you will need a proper polisher and a proper range of cutting compound/swirl remover/polish/synthetic sealant/wax.
