[QUOTE="danponjican, post: 5302291, member: 30288"] I second ScratchX if you are commited to working by hand. It works pretty well but you've got to be "passionate"! If you are planning on tackeling the whole car with ScratchX... I would plan on a MIN of 3 - 5 hours just for that step. Honestly, I would rather go out and buy a cheap $30 rotary buffer and just take it very easy with it (low risk). For example, a Chicago rotary ($30 at Harbor Freight), use a white or black foam polishing pad (very soft, very low cut if any at all) and either Optimum Polish or SSR1 (SSR2.5 if you are feeling lucky... still not too risky IMHO). Work it at very slow speeds (900 - 1000 rpm) and just use the weight of the machine (don't apply any pressure). Honestly I don't think it's possible to make a mistake with those steps. Then top it with whatever wax or LSP you want (Natty's blue or a sealant like Duragloss #105 is what I would use). I think you'll be pleased! [/QUOTE]
