For some reason I haven't been able to use the search function on Autopia for the past few days. The browser turned blank every time when I tried. Therefore, after going through quite a few pages on the forum, I decided to throw the question out here to make sure that I do this right.
I have an Acura RSX in black. A while ago, I used KAIO, by hand with a MF applicator, on the trunk lid and rear bumper after washing and claying. It didn't correct much but it did bring back some shine. I am not surprised since I knew that KAIO doesn't correct paint too much from reading on the forum. It was my first time using polishing product and Acura is notorious for soft paint so I was being conservative and started with KAIO.
Now, I am looking for a polish with more correcting ability which I can use by hand with a pad or applicator. Sadly, the current economy doesn't allow me to splurge on a PC. After some reading, I noticed that Meguiar's Ultimate Compound had pretty good review and someone mentioned that it can be applied by hand using a orange pad. Also, there is another review about swirl removed by hand and it showed that Autoglym Super Resin Polish gave a pretty good result.
I can't make up my mind about which product to get. I am really scared about doing harm to my paint instead of correcting it so I want to be extra careful. Would you please give me some advice on the product/applicator? Thank you.
