[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16732513, member: 195778"] Couple professionals in the Show N Shine Saloon who could help you out with some tips. Basically, the standard rule of thumb is to test different compounds, pads, and speeds to see what combination gives you the best/desired results. Remember that the more aggressive you go with the compound and pad, the more steps you should take in order to finish it properly. It's the same concept as sandpaper; you begin with coarse grit and finish it with fine. Once you've got the imperfections worked out you can look at finishing it with a polish (light correction properties), glaze (basically fills in fine imperfections) and/or wax. If you opt for a heartier final coating like a ceramic, it's a good idea to first wipe the panels down with a diluted alcohol solution to promote bonding. It's a science. lol The same combination of products doesn't always work on every vehicle thanks to differences in paint characteristics either so there's no "one size fits all" answer. [/QUOTE]
