    Thanks to all the suggestions on the 3M buffing compound! It has the original paint which is not perfect so I went ahead and purchased a buffer, some 3m compound and went at it! About 3 hours last night, and then another 3 hours today waxing.

    Looks great. Just wait for the first sunny summer day and sit back and have a cold one and admire your work.

    That car looks great - and I'll also ask what buffer you used.

    Just a cheap $30 ryobi from Home Depot... worked pretty well though. 3M buffing compound and turtle wax polish.. and 6 hours, now my arms hurt!
     
  10. I would be proud to own a car like that.
