Need help: Polishing and Buffing paint (removing swirls/oxidation) 200 1987

Ok, the one thing that I'm good at-
I have been detailing cars for the last 20+ years and have always found the Meguiars products superior to the 3M. Since it sounds as though you have all of the silver paint off and are left with swirl marks, I would go to a #3 Meguiars glaze. Apply with an ORBITAL buffer and NOT a power buffer. Go over it several times if you have to, going in different directions each time. Run the buffer over the surface at about an inch every 2 seconds or so and make sure that you wipe off the dried glaze after each application. Finish with an application of your favorite wax. Use a carnuba wax without a cleaner, swirl mark, or oxidation remover. Just straight wax. If you have any further questions, just email me.
