Well… I go home every other weekend or so. It’s only 70 miles. I did have it down here, but I didn’t use except for maybe two times the few weeks. I’m heading home tomorrow so I can go to the Boat Show tomorrow afternoon.

+1 on Chemical Guys/Poorboys/Adams whatever, all the same stuff, but CG makes some damn fine products…

My current collection is all Tropi-Care, Duragloss (one of the most underrated line of products ever) and Meguiars.

I am going to order a UDM here shortly.

has it ever been repainted? it also depends on what you use to wipe the car down with.

x2 …

Waxing has nothing to do with protecting agaist scratches, nor will it remove anything. Wax is just simply a protective layer, that adds wettness & depth to the paint.

You need to remove those marks with a compound … I highly recommend Menzs SIP or IP followed by Menz Final Polish … Then Pinnacle Souveran

regular cotton towels but seriously this paint is like no other gm paint ive ever come across i use a 2 step 3m rubbing compoud and polish with a buffer on other cars but im afraid to do it on this car. I might just go to a professional.  
Where can i get the good polish and compound for dark cars ? website link ??

I might jsut try and buff it myself but at a lower speed than i normally do.

Use microfiber … a HIGH quaility is the key. I use strickly Cobra Microfiber towells … They are 100% microfiber, super soft, tagless & edgeless.

What buffer do you use?  
Buffing at a lower speed wont do anything. A true compound needs speed and heat to properly break it down, underworking/overworking it will result is micro-marring.

Where are you located? … I could take a look at it for you EDIT … I see your from baltimore … so I guess Im no help in person … lol
