          Will not fix the issue, only mask it.

              If you really want to bring out a nice shine, try using a polishing compound then waxing. I used 3M products and the results were pretty good.. you could probably give some Mothers or meguires Polish at CT a try..

                This is the OEM zinnoberrot after it has been corrected. I just have a simple set up of a PC 7424xp, multiple pads, and products.

                  I like duragloss products. They are cheap, shipping is cheap, and they work well. Whatever product line you go with you absolutely must invest in a polisher. You simply cannot duplicate the work of a polisher doing it by hand. Get the harbor freight da with a 20% off coupon and it'll be around $50. It's a little noisier than the pc 7424 but works basically the same for about 40% of the cost. I know this because I own both.

                    In Marburg kann man sehr gut wohnen.
                    Die Umgebung ist schön mit vielen Wäldern.
