Pfffftttt.... Wouldn't hold my breath. (Depending on the coupon code it'd be from 15% to 30% off.) Plus free shipping.

They'll match other "detailing" sites... but AG doesn't match auto parts stores. (Even though it's the same product.)

Need help, this is what I have after polishing with finess it, cloudy haze, and scratches . And I use this polisher, with wool pad.

Then I get this after I use Harbor Freight 6 " polisher ( holding out for GG6 from advance auto, when they come in ) with polish in pic. still small haze and scratches

I did this with my GG21 yesterday.

That's a 60 watt light bulb in the reflection and the only lighting in my garage at this point, pic taken with no flash.

Get HD Cut and HD Polish and HD Poxy.

What type of pad should I use? foam, wool, ect ? What buffer should I use ( out of what I have now).

Buff & Shine Orange with Cut and Polish, for severe swirls use yellow with Cut. Polish you can use Orange and then really bling it out with a white pad and Polish then top with Poxy.

That's what I used on my hood. (I did throw Speed in between but wouldn't do that in the future, no reason for the additional step, I was experimenting.)

I must say that's a nice little 73 442 you have there...

The paint on my 442 was wasted when I bought it 15 years ago. I was of the philosophy that I'd try anything, because I figured I couldn't screw up the paint any more than it was.

I bought a PC instead of the GG and use 5.5" Lake Country CCS pads. I experimented with some of the polished in the XMT line, #4, #3 and #1. I have also used XMT 360 AIO and that seemed to finish down well. Topped with Collinite 845.

Although the only solution in my case is an eventual repaint, the work I put in does make it look significantly more presentable.

Good luck! Would love to see some more pics, hear some specs on that car! There aren't very many of them around anymore!
