Re: Spring prep
These were both taken yesterday after I performed the third buffing step, but before waxing. I think she looks...AWESOME!

Maybe the final wax coat you could use a da type poison polisher though
Waybomb.... I would appreciate you opinion on this

That's what I bought, plus a half dozen wool pads, and a cheap pad cleaning tool. It's a handle with a toothed roller. Works great. Clean the pads in a 5 gallon bucket of simple green with a stiff scrub brush, rinse very well, and then hang up to dry overnight, and back at it in the am.
There's all kinds of resources and opinions on how to do it, what compounds and waxes, etc. I like 3m products. I finish it up with a non-wax polymer (MaryKate). Leaves no swirls and last all season.
But everybody has an opinion - do whatever works best for you.
