Just make sure it's clean before you start, it's surprisingly easy once you get past the initial fear.

2 passes of Meguires fine cut cleaner and 1 pass of swirl remover 2.0

Still have scratches to work out

but not looking too bad

You need a Rupes DA polisher. A cordless Makita never ever has came to mind.

That's what the hazard fraud is a clone of, one of the lower end Rupes, looks identical other than the colors. It does a pretty good job, took out all of the swirl marks and the majority of the scratches with some med polish.

That is the one I'd like. Madwis jazz playing auto detailing friend recommends the corded version of it in one of his classes. It has a dual mode forced or free spin action and no cords to smack the car with. It's about the same price as the high end Rupes and I have a pile of batteries for it.

Some smooth jazz really helped

Polished buffed glazed and waxed. Guessing more than one of you woke up the same way
