but now i need help cleaning and treating the paint that came off the balk pole.

#82 Swirl Mark Remover first, but ineffective #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish then follow it with #82
 
I think he is suggesting to try the SMR first and if that doesn't work, go to the DACP.



Is the paint gone? It's hard to tell from the pix. I think I'd head straight for the DACP and then do finishing up polishing from there 'til you're satisfied with it.
 
You should be able to use either of these products by hand or with a PC to buff the red paint off your blue car. The #83 is a more agressive than the #82, which is why I suggested using it first. If the red paint is still showing after a couple of attempts with #82, then upgrade to the #83. When no more red paint shows after #83, redo the entire area with #82 to get rid of any micro-marring that #83 may have left.

assume i know nothing of product and acronyms.



i also have no high speed tools...



are these meguiars products?
 
i can not find anyone locally that carries the product specified.



The closest thing i find to the specifications given was Meguiars Scratch X...
 
okay. . . i can get to the napa on monday, but isnt quicker better? Or is ScratchX wrong product to use?



(stuck@ work)
 
after visiting 2 napas, apparently they are not created all equal. They said they were jobbers Napa and couldn't get any other meguiars products other than on-shelf.



I used scratch X, a foam applicator, a terrycloth, and a microfiber cloth. I will post pics when i get home.
