dont have a PC

[87maxxima]

i was wondering if anyone could help me out i dont have a buffer/polisher so i do everthing by hand.i was wonder what i would use on a really badly oxidised car that i could buy at a local auto store that would give me some good results that i could apply by hand.

i intend to buy a PC soon but i just moved to florida and have to take care of some other things first. so any help would be appreciated.thanks

Klasse AIO or Meg`s ColorX. AIO will have to be ordered, but ColorX should be available locally OTC at Wal-Mart or an auto parts store:

also the paint is so bad that there are pin head size rust spots starting to form in spots so how bad am i?

i just got the car its an 87 maxima and i dont think it was ever waxed or detailed till i got it so i am trying to make it look as good as i can till i get a PC or if its to late then a paint job

what about turtle wax polishing compound is that even worth waisting my money on or should i just spend the money and get something that you guys told me to buy?

I`d use one of the products already mentioned. You should also buy some clay and do that after you wash, but before you apply the one-step product. The little rust specks may be on the surface and the clay will pull them out. You can get Clay Magic, Mothers, or Meg`s clay locally:

It`s kind of a matter of personal preference:
