I've never used a machine and I'd be afraid I'd leave holograms. I might just go with a glaze the car is brand new with 1k miles garaged and never driven in rain.

For polishing by hand I like Lake Country CCS. for applying glaze and plain foam pad is fine.

Hey do you think the speedy towel will take out a tiny little orange paint stain on my white car I have no idea what it is. It was there when I bought it new and I didn't notice it. It's on plastic not steel. Hand wash has no effect on it didn't want to press too hard. It's smooth to the touch.

Prep towel/clay will get most out but will require a lot of elbow grease. Look into Iron X for proper de-contamination next time u wash/clay.

That's not what iron X is for...

Clay should do it. Next step would be polishing.

Right on, do you have any step between polish and sealer?

Unless I'm reading incorrectly (which is possible) CarPro is under the impression that's exactly what it's for. Break it to them lightly please...

Plastic doesn't rust. And it's unlikely he has just ONE rust spot on his paint. It doesn't work like that.

Didn't see the plastic part and will stand corrected. But you...you need to relax
