Hey guys...going to spend a day polishing my car out. What's a good go to polish/pad combination for a 2-3 step correction?

Cyan Hydrotech FG400, Tangerine Hydrotech Optimum Hyper Polish. That combo right there gets 90-95% perfection on just about any car.

For a high gloss after compounding, Carpro Reflect with Crimson LC Hydrotech pad.

If your defects are light and don't need compounding, Reflect finishes well with the Tangerine LC Hydrotech pad.

I see on weatherforyou.com that the temperatures are going to be hot for several days in your area.

When it's hot outside, your compound/polish will tend to dry up quicker. So if your not working in a temperature controlled environment, I'd consider waiting until you have a range between 60* and 80*.

You could do it in the early morning if possible for you to start then, but you may have to split it up into 2 or more days depending on the amount of correction/polishing needed, and the type of machine used to do the correction/polishing.
