i used re-po extra creame cut polish (red tin)
i dunno but i think it needs something on top or under to make it really really shine, but meh it works. Its wax too.
I've got absolutely no idea where to start when It come's to restoring old paint. The silver on my ae71 is fairly tired to say the least but from a distance in low light if you squint she's damn neat :2thumbs:
Can anyone suggest the product and method's used to clean her up with a quick rubdown and a polish. too lazy and cheap to go as far as a respray but don't mind spending half a day with a couple of cutting compounds or similar to try make her look just a lil nicer.
Cheers
Simon

I just did the very same thing you are doing.
i restored the paintwork by hand over 3 days. hard work but rewarding to see at the end.
i used meguires paint cleaner to very gently cut (95% of job), then meguires wetlook to polish (5% of job).
came up a treat, but u gotta be prepared to put a lot of hours in if u gonna do it properly
i have abuffer but to "clean" the paint u can't beat manual elbow grease.
