a couple months ago a did a complete buff and wax on it with an orange pad and pc on 6. i am a strong beleiver in menzerna intense and final polish so thats what i have been using. but what did yesterday is just a little upkeep. some minor scratches and scuffs and my hood was scratched pretty bad by the guys who changed my front windshield. I used my makita rotary with menzerna fp2 on a white pad, then finished it off with megs yellow wax.
