What paint restorer products have you had the best luck with? Looking to try and get all those little scratches out and get the shine stepped up a notch or two!! Have seen some kits with a cleaner, clay bar, a compound and a wax(Meguires has a good looking kit).

Did some paint correction today, great results !

After work today I turned on the heat in the garage and decided it was time to address an issue with the hood on y 93GT. I painted this hood last spring after I modified it to fit my 393w, I am NOT a pro body guy and had some serious orange peel after laying the clear. It was frustrating because...

I usually use either Turtle Wax Ice and seal or hybrid ceramic coating for a paint protectant, awesome products for the money.
Do you have access to a dual action polisher or rotary ?
