Polishing compound use

Not sure where you are located OP, but a good detailer can make the paint look literally better than it did new. Like mentioned earlier, again depending on area, you could have a quick polish done for probably a few hundred bucks up to 1000 if you want it looking perfecto.

 

Most detail shops in the Midwest have coupons exterior buff $100-125

Or check harbor freight for a 7” buffer and do it yourself.
I use light compound and then use a compound/wax mix on the second and 3rd time buffing.



As a finish wax I usually apply a butter carnuba wax. I prefer the pink paint sealant since it comes off super easy


I buy wax by the gallon and use a squirt bottle to apply to pad or car directly (mustard /ketchup bottle from dollar tree)

Here’s the place to go to. It’s a mom and pop shop that has been around since I was a porter at a car dealer in the late 80’s

This place has everything. I usually go in 1/2 with the neighbors
