Re: How to make it pretty....

Are you doing it by hand or do you have a buffer?

I bought a professional buffer last summer....what a God send! Works great for buffing. Pick up a Mother's Powerball for wax application....great item.

I learned from my brother who manages a large body shop.
1. Wash thoroughly
2. Mother's or Maguire's clay bar
3. Apply 2 inch painters tape to all the black trim to avoid staining from the polish and wax.
4. Buff with 3M Finness-it. Remove residue with MANY MICROFIBER cloths(Costco)
5. Apply wax with the Powerball and a cordless drill. I've used many waxes in my life. Now I prefer the newer "tech" waxes for ease of application and removing after it hazes over. Any brand will work great, Black Magic, Maguires, Mother's, etc. Again, remove the haze with ONLY microfiber cloths and use a lot of them!
