    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:

    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:
