Hi Chris,
I just want to let you in on a few detailing tips. An orbital polisher works great for applying wax on a good finish. But, it does not have the power to remove scratches, scuffs, oxidation or contaminates from a surface. Orbitals just vibrate around. A high speed buffer with a wool cutting pad will do the trick. But that would be a job for an experienced detailer that is familiar using a high speed buffer. The only other alternative would be to use a terry cloth towel and do it by hand. You will get better results doing it by hand than you would using an orbital buffer. Dont use a microfiber towel because its too soft and will not be aggressive enough to get the job done.
Terry cloth works the best for this application.
We carry a few products that will work for the scuffs. What product did you use? How agressive is it? We have a product called Rejuvenator. It s a one step cleaner wax. It is more aggressive than a standard cleaner wax. Rejuvenator contains a liquid clay bar which acts like a cutting compound and also contains a very durable carnauba wax. It will remove scratches, scuffs, oxidation, water spots, and contaminates from clearcoated surfaces. It also removes heavy oxidation from plastic lenses. If Rejuvenator wont do it, we have about four other products that will work. All clearcoat safe.
I see you live in St. Pete. If you like you can bring your Corvette by our Detail supply store in Largo and you can try it, before you buy it. We are located at 11311 Starkey Road in Largo. Its about an 1/8 mile north of bryan Dairy rd. inside Mission Plaza on the east side of the road.
