Message	Meguires 3 stage kit: paint cleaner/polish/carnuba wax hand applied and worked, then removed and final polish with a terry detailing towel. Paint oxidation wasn't that bad and a test panel I tried came out decent by hand so I kept going. For power polishing, I have a 7" Makita 9227 variable speed corded unit. I use Farecla G-Mop pads, hi-cut foam for paint correction and prep and Yellow compounding foam for polish application: Farecla G-Mop I go with the 3M Perfect-it products for cutting and polishing. Recommended by the paint guy I use. He did a Z club detailing hands on workshop where we got to destroy test panels with power polishers until we figured out how to properly get good results. Cheaper in bulk: 3M Perfect-It All waxing is done by hand. Was using Zaino products recommended by another Z Club member but found they were pricy and don't give the reflection I like. Gone back to Meguiars mostly because a neighbor moved away and gave me two full boxes of assorted wax & detailer.
