Their products are a little pricey, but they have a 100% satisfaction gaurantee (which I've tested), and they work as described. Some of the best detailing products I've ever used and I've used a bunch. These guys think of everything.
I use their clay bar with my random orbital, their machine polish 2 and 3, and their paint sealant once a year on all my vehicles to keep them looking like new. |
That will make the finish you have look like new. But it won't give you the perfect finish.
The only way to get close to a "perfect" finish is to "color" sand and polish out all the orange peel and other imperfections. I put color in quotes becuase you're only sanding the clear coat on modern finishes.
Sanding and buffing the clear normally requires more coats of clear than what the factory puts on. Otherwise, you risk going through the clear. And sometimes by the time the car is delivered to you, the clear has hardened so much that it's difficult to sand and polish. Some clear coats have a limited window of time where it's best to do the sanding and polishing.
