    Hey guys, I am back after who knows how long. It`s been a LONG time but I now have a need for this skill set. I am the owner of a 2010 Nissan Frontier that in all honesty...needs work! I live in an apartment so a power DA is a bit of a reach so I am looking at doing things by hand if at all possible. Plus...the new place is costing me more than previously. I live in Huntsville if anyone is local and willing to help.



    I know at some point power is the way I need to go, but is there good products for hand washing/polishing/waxing that are worth looking at? I plan on researching pretty extensively, but any help is appreciated!

    Welcome back! Actual correction by way of hand polishing can be a very difficult task to accomplish. You can probably make things nice and shiny, but unless you have massive amounts of arm strenght you won`t be able to level enough paint to correct anything more then some minor cobbwebbing scratches. If that. Good luck.

    I guess correction isn`t necessarily what I`m looking for immediately. I`d like to get protection covered until I can afford either professional correction, or begin that phase myself. Is this feasible? I understand it isn`t ideal.

    HD Poxy - protectant



    All available here:

    Would the 3D Polisher do me any better than simply doing it by hand? At 40 bucks, I think I can swing that and a few chemicals. I was under the impression the Porter Cable was the only option.

    I`d stay away from a rotary polisher. Could do way more bad then good.
