Perfect it 2 compound is great to start with ! After you have done your water sanding with 1000-1500 grit sandpaper, use the compound above with a buffing pad. I just use a gentle out and back motion and be careful of corners and edges. After you have finished with the compound, I use 3M's final glaze and swirl mark remover with a foam pad and do the process again. This gives you a super shiny finish, and eliminates those small "swirl marks" left by the buffing pad and compound. Try to do this in a shady area for best results. Hope this helps a little !
