For Race Red

First, buy this backing plate if you do not already have it:

This will allow you to run smaller foam pads, like the 5.5". I find you have more control and get a better correction with those, if not, the smallest you can run is the 6.5". You can buy the Meguiars specific surebuff pads but they tend to run more expensive and do the exact same thing as the following:

You'll need 2-3 of these polishing

2-3 of these light cutting

2-3 of these finishing/applicator pads

Few of the snappy pad cleaners, just dump it into a 3-5 gal bucket (not one you use to wash the cars with), let your pads soak in it for a few hours and agitate them clean

Meguiars #105 Compound (8oz)
http://www.autoality.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=512&idcategory=0

Meguiars #205 Finishing Polish (8oz)
http://www.autoality.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=514&idcategory=0

Basically use the #105 with an orange pad to compound and cut some of the swirls and water marks off of your vehicle.

Go back over it with the cyan pad and #205, and if you really want to jewel up the paint go over it again a third time with #205 and the red pad. If not, use the red pad to just apply liquid waxes/sealants with.

My recommendation for protecting that Race Red finish is as follows:

Chemical Guys Black Light, hybrid glaze/sealant. Will fill minor imperfections and offer protection
http://www.autoality.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=333&idcategory=0

Chemical Guys Lava Wax
http://www.autoality.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=841&idcategory=0

Chemical Guys V07 Spray Sealant/Detailer
http://www.autoality.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=331&idcategory=0

Process:
Once your finish is where you want it, apply Black Light with a red pad on speed 1. Remove it, apply a second coat.

Wait a day, Apply two coats of Lava, then spray V07.

Re-apply V07 after washes.

If you need specs on wash supplies etc, let me know, but you should be using two 5 gal buckets with grit guards to wash with and a ph neutral soap. I usually recommend maxi suds II.

Citrus Wash from CG is also very good but if mixed wrong can strip your surface of wax. It's great for starting over again though.
