Now if you had gone with another title I could see it. Something like -

The Grand Poobah of Carnuba

The Boss of Gloss

The Wax-tastic Master of Shine

The Polymer Prince

Sir Buffsalot

The Prime Minister of a Shine so Sinister

The Saint of Paint

I can keep going...probably for days.

Now THAT'S funny!

I swear, detail guys are the snobbiest of them all...

Isn't it difficult to breathe with your head in your a$$. Several people have made an attempt to help but you don't seem to want to take the advice you asked for.

Slamming Junkman is just stupid. Check out some of the videos and comments that he has posted on this site and you will see that not only does he know what he's doing, he loves to share his knowledge. (The Carl Sagan of Carnuba?)

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Those titles are even better when you read them out loud in Michael Buffer's voice. "Fighting out of the blue corner...,"

OP, I think you're inferring tone where there isn't one. And, even if Junkman had been a complete **** to you (he wasn't at all), that wouldn't change the fact he gives great info.

Take a look at our Paint Correcting and Paint Finishing Polishes, along with either foam or microfiber (or both) pads. Video are at the bottom of the pages that outline their usage. You can find them here:

Polishes, Pads, & Applicators

What size backing plate do you have on your machine? If it's 5.5-6", then you'll be ready to rock with a little kit like this one:

Adam's Machine Polisher Starter Kit | Machine Polisher Kit

From there, you can seal/glaze/wax your heart out!!

I keep laughing at all of these, but this one in particular

He did lay out some classics. I may have to bust some of them out in a video!

Here is what you need:
Griots Garage 6 Inch Random Orbital Polisher or some other DA

LC flat pads, I'd get 1 yellow, 2 orange, 2 white, and 1 black to start
Lake Country 5 1/2 x 7/8 inch Beveled Edge Pads 6 Pack, foam pad kit, build a kit, buffing pads, curved edge pads

These are 5.5" pads, so you need a 5" backing plate for the DA. A 5" backing plate is also much smaller than the 6" plate the GG above comes with; less surface area>less work for the motor>easier correction:
lake country 5 inch backing plate, 5 inch backin plate, 5 inch hook and loop backing plate

Meguiars ultimate polish and compound should work for the majority of any scratches you need. Start with the least aggressive method (ie white pad with polish, if that doesn't give desired results, move to orange pad with polish, etc)

Also, listen to Junkman, he knows his sh!t.

I would chose the Hex Logic pads over the Lake Country on the PC as they have more cut and grab. The LC pads are better for the Flex and rotary polishers. The 5.5" size is best for novices. The Hex Logic pads are carried by Chemical Guys.

I just ordered a pc 7424xp, 3 hex white, 2 hex orange, 8 oz of m105 and m205, 5" pad, griots foam pad cleaner and a Foamaster 95QGFMR. I can't wait to put the Junkman videos to use.

Make sure you watch them a few time and take notes. You will benefit big time from doing so. Once that buffer starts spinning, people tend to forget everything that they saw.
