So Reggie's paint is all scuffed to bugger because I put a tarp on him. I am well aware I won't get the paint back to normal without a respray, but I am confident with a proper machine polish it will come up not bad overall.
Thing is, I don't know anything about polishing and there's like a million pads to choose from. I have a Meguiars G220 (I think, never actually used it). It used to have a yellow foam thing but I'm pretty sure one of the dogs ran away with it moons ago.
I'm not looking for a show-shine. I was going to go for good old G3 compound. I do have t-cut at home as well but not sure it's up to the job. I have loads of waxy stuff going about that I can hand apply after.
Can anyone impart some wisdom on what sort of pad/s would be best? Do I need like a cutting pad first then a finishing pad? If so does that require two different grades of compound?
This is weeeeell outwith the realms of my experience. ose2: Any advice appreciated as always.
