Need Help Removing my toolbox HELP!!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wth-help-need-help-removing-my-toolbox-help/31490/14): > > Thanks for the feedback guys. 1stv-dub, that looks great. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you use to get it to look like that? thanks for the compliments guys! I was pretty impressed myself, as was marks\_lude, the member on here that I did this for. We were pretty aggressive with his car. Usually wash the car, dry, clay bar the car, then wash it again, and dry. Then I use a 3m rubbing compound (usually fine cut if the car has good clear left, regular rubbing compound if it’s a super oxidized single stage which his was as it was painted once I believe). Either way his paint was pretty faded. Then I think we used a Meguires Paint cleaner which is just a finer cut. Add in some 3m Imperial Hand Glaze to fill some scratches. Top with 2 coats of mother’s carnuba wax (old school stuff in the metal tin) I think it has one of the higher carnuba percentages of the things you can buy at pep boys. Used a wool pad for the rubbing compound and polish. Cotton plush pad for hand glaze and regular cotton one to take off the wax. I usually end up spending at least 4 hours on a car, but I’m slow and my arm gets tired, even with an orbital buffer, lol. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/detailing-questions/191331)._
