I ended up getting a cheap orbital and Meguiars ultimate compound, ultimate polish, and carnauba wax.

I started with the compound and to be honest probably went over it 4 times and still there are some spots. I think the car was washed regularly but never really waxed.

Well, I followed the compound with the carnauba wax. It looks great from a distance- but if you get real close you can find some spots especially on the hood.

I'll take some pics when the sun comes out.
