You want to start with the least aggressive method possible. The reason is, is that different paints react to different polishes/compounds differently. I have polished an Audi and the paint be so hard that even the toughest compound and pad couldn't remove the defects. But my Saleen has...
I wish you were closer. I'd love to have a crack at it. I removed some pretty deep scratches on my Saleen. They were even nail catchers and I wet sanded and polished them out. The main problem you will run in to is if it went through the paint.
Well you aren't going to get the chip out that's for sure. But there are two things detailers hate, dealerships and body shops. Nothing against anyone that works in either, but most of the time you guys leave a lot to be desired when it come to a finished product. If someone buffed that they did...
This is really outdated and needs to be updated.

Sonus Trim and Motor Kote. Cheapest, fastest, and longest lasting engine bay dressing out there. After you clean the engine bay you just spray it and let it dry. I can detail an engine in about 20 min with most of it being cleaning.

Blacklight is a glaze and is just gonna fill. The results will be temporary.
I have used the nanokin sponges and mitt. I like the mitt more because I can knock out two jobs at once. Stay away from the aggressive grade nanoskin. It will mar your paint. Get the fine grade.
I love Menzerna...
The difference in the polishers is really how they operate. The Flex is forced rotation, meaning it is similar to a rotary but rotates randomly. If you put a lot of pressure on the Flex the pad will not stop spinning. There is more user error with the Flex and if the pad isn't held right on the...
The main problem with such a large pad on a PC is it doesn't move much. The suggested marker mark makes sure your pad stays moving. It is doesn't move you aren't going to get any correction or very little. Try to ease up on the pressure and get the pad moving more and see how that does. I would...
I think barebones is too. I tried to cut it a little with some water and the two totally separated from each other. Even when I would shake it, it would immediately separate.

When I do the VRT, I put a shit ton on lol. Than I just let it dry with zero wipe down.
Another product I want to try is the Auto Finesse Satin Tire Gel. If you don't like the look of the first coat you can add additional coats to get your tires to the amount of shine you want.
