Yeah, I spent quite a bit of time talking to Joe, and wound up buying a variable speed polisher he sells along with various pads and polishing compound. Joe also briefly touched on wet sanding, which may be something I will want to give a try one of these days to try to remove the orange peel look of the paint.
I already have a Porter-Cable oribital polisher, which does an OK job, but it just doesn't have the cutting power to deal with scratches and the other rough stuff. You CAN get swirl marks and scratches out using the PC and polishing compounds, but it will take longer and require more effort. But I would recommend going that route instead of jumping right into a rotating polisher as the PC is better to learn from as it keeps you from making mistakes that can damage the paint.
Maybe Joe will make up a video on DVD (or even post the videos here) for us one of these days showing us all the proper techniques for dealing with these problems and the correct way of using a polisher/buffer.......
Sure wish there was an easy way to deal with rock chips, however.... Got a new one on the way home today.......
But that is another story....
