Thanks very much. So you would say that the white pad/intensive polish is a good first outing and relatively safe when used with a da buffer? I should have said i consider myself a good user of tools and more or less never pay people to do what I can do myself while acquiring tools and skills. Short of painting a car, ive done it all from welding, enginer rebuilding etc. so im not going to hamfist the da buffer, but at thr same time I dont have an intuitive sense for how aggressive these various compounds are.

The reference shows pad/product mixes for various paint finishes.

I'd recommend the 'intensive polish' with a white pad. Perhaps followed by a 'final polish' with a black pad.

Put blue painters tape aroun all the trim_ this greatly simplifies things.

Finish with a Collinite wax. Collinite is cheap and outlasts most other waxes.
