Default What do you use?

This has been the first time that I have really tried to clean a car properly. First I washed it with my regular blue coral car wash then let it dry. Then over the course of 2 days I used Turtle wax polishing compound and polished the entire car......by HAND. lol I was going to borrow my friends orbital polisher or whatever you call it that he buffs Cigarrettes with daily. (he's a big boat guy) but i couldnt get a hold of him so I did it myself. I finished the polishing today and tomorrow I plan on using Meguiar's cleaner wax to finish the job. Plus I'll use the usualy armor all on tires and such like that. On the front fenders there is some over spray becasue it just got painted that I couldnt get off with tthe polishing compound. Should I use rubbing compound or would a buffer take it off? Tips for next time would be great. Here's a pic of my car.

It was about to rain so I had to protect my hardwork lol

Default RE: What do you use?

A clay bar will take that overspray off. If you've polished it, I might put a coat of carnauba wax on it instead of the cleaner wax. Cleaner wax if suppose to take off oxidation and help level out scratches IIRC. I'd just top it with a carnauba!
