Hmmm, I may have to look into this. Maybe use the ScratchX and then Zaino V2

I'm still detailing cars on the side btw.

There is some kind of sealer that john uses, way better than anything, but it's like $60 for a little tiny can. Ridiculous.
Do you have a polishing machine/buffer?

I'm interested in picking one up at some point - do you have any recommendations?

Yes, I would stay away from using a buffer to polish a car. If you don't know what you're doing you may take the clear coat... off.

If you want to use it to save time waxing, get a small very low speed battery powered buffer with a large foam attachment.

I have a pro grade Milwaukee Buffer with a wool and 50/50 bonnet I've had for 100 years. You can borrow it, but I kill you when you f*** it up. About $200 worth.

I have a cheaper buffer, if you break it I won't kill you. I would only kick you in the balls.
