    what's the best way to clean up some light marring

    my car was complete done about a month ago. then I ended up getting something all over the car & had to clay it(thought it was sap). after claying I do have some slight marring here and there I'll need to get rid of. ( I'm going to waterless wash it & apply a sealant after I get rid of the marring). out of all these products I have, which would be the least harshest to get me there ?
    HD Speed
    Rupes ultra fine, fine or medium
    Poor Boys black hole
    McKee's 360
    Griots correcting cream
    Optimum Hyper polish

    Is polish enough to get the job done ? or do I need something with a little more cut ?
    thanks

    You'll prolly get it done with either HD Speed, Rupes ultra or Fine polish.

    Then seal...

    As for others...let them sit. You'll get it done with what I mentioned above.

    Re: what's the best way to clean up some light marring

    •For clay marring, I’ll do the obligatory
    “Test Spot” with an Ultra Finishing Polish,
    (like Meguiar’s M205), on a finishing pad.

    -That usually proves out to be enough
    to remove clay marring.


    •BTW:
    -After polishing, I don’t re-wash the vehicle;
    -I say: Why chance introducing another type
    of “marring” to the newly polished paint?


    •Additionally:
    -Meguiar’s M205 has never disappointed me
    in its willingness to happily embrace the big-
    gest majority of the Sealants that are current-
    ly on the market.

    Yeah I was going to WW before the polishing. The car is going sit 3 or 4 days before polishing. I do have that megs 205. Guess I’ll try these suggestions and see which suits me. I appreciate all the response, thanks.

    My take???

    Rupes Fine Polish---yellow with either white pad or kick it up a notch---yellow pads. It'll be perfect!

    Either of these will work. Probably don’t need correcting cream.

    Depends on what your end goal is. If you want AIO the speed or 360. If not then Hyper Polish or Rupes and the protection of your choice.

    Test spot is the answer you will always get.

    Yeah I think I’ll try try the rupes and the hyper polish. I’ve been sitting on a new bottle of hyper polish waiting to test it out. Thanks

    I think Speed with a foam "polishing" pad would be more than enough. Plus, because it's an AIO it's one and done.
