No rubbing compounds yet. I use One Grand Blitz wax. I bet I wax the hood & other horizontal Tony in Whittier - Wednesday, 25 April, 2012, at 11:02:38 am |

Use least invasive method possible.
If not correcting, then move onto something ever so slightly more aggressive.
Before I'd go w/ either of those rubbing compounds, I try the following in order:
- clay bar w/ detail spray
- white vinegar and water
- hand glaze
- swirl remover by hand
- swirl remover by machine
- very mild polish by hand
- very mild polish by machine
- mild polish by hand
- mild polish by machine
- medium polish by hand
- medium polish by machine
Unless this thing was a Pterosaurs, above should more than resolve (my guess is mild polish by machine at the latest) before having to move to any rubbing compound...
Good luck

simple rubbing compound (I still prefer 3M), followed by hand glaze, then wax it.
