I can guide you through the process.

First step is getting a quality D/A polisher & pads.

It's hard to go wrong with a Porter & Cable 7424xp

PORTER-CABLE Variable Speed Polisher, 6-Inch (7424XP) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002654I46..._MCW2EbVENFE9V

I like the chemical guys pads; they are price friendly & produce great results IMO.

You only need orange, white & black. Maybe red & yellow

Yellow - heavy cutting
Orange - heavy / medium cutting
White - medium / light cutting
Black - light cutting / polish
Red - wax & sealants

Chemical Guys HEX_3KIT_5 5.5" Buffing Pad Sampler Kit, 4 Items - (1) 16 oz Polishing Pad Cleaner + (3) 5.5" Buffing Pads that Work with 5" Backing Plates https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J588UNG..._aJW2EbSBBXS6Z

Lake Country Backing Plate -
3" & 5"

Your gonna need 3000 & 5000 sand paper for surface scratches that the D/A won't get out.

3M Trizact Performance Sandpaper, 03064, 3-2/3 in x 9 in, 3000 grit, 5 per pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005RNGL9O..._DTW2EbEXY2XY4

Last is the polish -

Sonex might make one of the very best cutting pastes -

Sonax CutMax, Cut & Finish, Perfect Finish Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LBW536K..._cWW2EbPQN91G6

3M Perfect It 1-2-3, Also makes a very good product.


1Pk - 3M - Perfect It Buffing & Polishing Compound 06085 06064 06068 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0082LK8K6..._1YW2Eb6MPK0DF

They do make the same kit in a pint size for about $75.00.

I used the Sonex Heavy cutting & then 3M 2 & 3.

I like the Sonex heavy cutting better than 3M's version.

Then you will need to watch a few videos on you tube
