Make it shine
I had my car painted in May of this year. Three coats of original color
(flame red metalic) and two coats of clear. I havn't waxed her yet. The car is garaged when not driven, and its not driven alot. Whats the best way to get the wet gloss show car shine. I have a professional buffer. I'm just afraid to use it on her. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance

Re: Make it shine
I've always had great luck with 3M hand glaze. Its mild enough not to leave scratches or swirls but it gives it a nice glossy finish. I go over my car with it using microfiber towels once a year to get rid of the wax build up and give it that fresh paint shine. Then I put on a coat of wax to seal it up, works out well for me but everyone has their own methods.
Re: Make it shine
get a foam pad for your buffer(foam pad is easier and less abrasive),and 3m swirl and scratch remover, this stuff works great wont mess up your paint (i KNOW IT SAYS REMOVER BUT IT WORKS AMAZING TO SHINE YOUR PAINT) and then finish with a high quality wax (i reccomend megiers gold class)
