Well i have most of the plan layed out but i can`t decide what polish to use. My car is a 2005 silverstone gray VW GTI. it is a metallic paint. the car has 48k mile.



The car is in in very good overall condition. Ther are some very light swirl marks, and little to no oxidation. I do not own a porter cable so i will be using a cheap orbital buffer. It will all be done by hand except for the polishing step. Here is my plan: (in order)



Wash with meguiars gold class

Clay with a meguiar`s kit

Mild polish with orbital buffer

Klasse high gloss sealant



I am stuck on what kind of polish to use. I initially purchased turtle wax F21 liquid polish but then some people said they weren`t sure if the Klasse would bond to it, so i returned it. I am looking to buy something available in an auto store, not looking to buy online since i need it asap.



I also have 3m rubbing compound, turtle wax polishing compound, and nufinish scratchX. it is my understanding that these are all too harsh for the minor polishing I am looking to do.



What are your suggestions? :xyxthumbs
