I was stupid and left my rear hatch open, resting against a padded wire conduit that runs above my car in the garage (condo). I was re-torquing wheel lugs and the slight shifting of the car back and forth scuffed the clear where it was touching the conduit. I was pissed, but I think a little elbow grease should do the trick. Otherwise, PC will be ordered next week Thanks for the input everyone.
A random orbit is a good tool, and the Porter Cable is highly recommended by those that do a lot of detailing. It's not really for the weekly waxing, but more for the seasonal polishing to bring everything back. You should be able to handle the scuffs with a good product to deal with that, either by hand or machine. My favorite, that I've kept a bottle of on the shelf for 30+ years is 3M Finesse-it II. Not cheap, but able to work magic on minor blems.. Once a year for me with a random orbit.
