I attached some pictures of my paint issues. We just bought a new truck that look good...long story short, now I see all this swirls marks all over the truck and some fine to not so fine scratches.
Can you all advice what you would do? step by step with equipment discription? I'm new at this and have really nothing that will work with this stuff so I'm listening and taking notes so I can make a better purchase SOON and make my truck look better than when it was new

Thanks
Manny

I would buy a PC or Flex polisher kit. One of the kits with Menzerna polish would be your best option I feel. You will need some orange pads and white pads. I have a Flex and could not be happier with it. Do you have a price range of what you plan to spend?

:whs:Both a PC and a flex would work. I have both, the flex would be a faster too, and less vibrationl. Espeacially with a truck. You could get these polishes:
Menzerna Ceramic Intro Kit, Menzerna polishes, nano polish, ceramic paint, ceramic polish, car polish, how to polish ceramic paint (http://autogeek.net/ceramic-polish-kit.html)

Or you could get Megs line which is #105 and #205
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound (http://autogeek.net/meguiars-mirror-glaze-105-ultra-cut-compound.html)
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish, final polish, Meguiars polishes, car polish, 205 FP (http://autogeek.net/meguiars-finishing-polish.html)

I would alos get 2-3 of each pad and purple foamed wool(PFW, orange, white, gray and blue)

Flex if it is within budget otherwise a Meg G110. Meguiars 105 and 205 along with a good assorment of pads.
