I kind of assume you will do more damage then good, while maintaining quite impressive forearms from all the rubbing hahahaha.
If I were to polish I would find a tried and tested method of polishing. For me Junkman posted a tried and tested method with video steps. I use the Adams line of polishes and quite a few of there products. I am a big fan of Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray. But I did not buy the 400 dollar package. You can pick and choose what ever items you want from where ever to save cash.
Read my guide on Zaino, You dont have to use Zaino but it will help you with some techniques. |
Hey man, thanks for the advice. I didn't mean any offense by questioning your advice, I just need to make sure of these things, y'know?

So, I mean, my paint's not THAT bad. It's still super young. I just kinda thought a little by-hand polishing would just buff out a few of the finer swirls - make it less noticeable.
But if it does more harm than good maybe I won't bother until I get the machines. And if Clay bar-ing has a dulling effect and I can't return to a shine with by-hand polishing, again, maybe I'll just leave it.
Oh well. Just a two-bucket wash then.
Oh, and I just got caught in the rain. When this happens, do you guys just park it in the garage and let it dry normally, or do you make efforts to dry it off? I know just taking a towel to it would be bad because the water will be full of dirt right now...
