i have IP,FP,wolfgang. megs # 9, deep crytsal polish and NXT. i have a pc and some pads. it is an 81 and the paint is dull. i'm thinking some rubbing compound or something. suggestions
Here is Meguiars Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner, #7, and #26. It was done over a year ago and was my first time detailing. The paint on the hood was as badly oxidized as the paint on top of the roof.
I re-did half of the hood with DACP, #81 Hand Polish, and #26 the other day and the results came out about the same. Ill try and upload pics later on.

Having some really skanky things here, I went and purchased Meguires Diamond Cut, the stuff rated a 10 on their scale of agressive.
It's worked very well on three of the vehicles so far. It's far less agressive then I expected. A hand rubbing compound like Turtle Waxs is substantially more aggressive. The breakdown of the abrasives seems to work quite well, allowing for nice polishing action very quickly.
I did no special prep work, just whacked at a few of the vehicles quickly with a random action buffer just to see what would happen. Quite pleasantly pleased with the results. I'd give it a solid thumbs up and recommendation for your application.
