Hi Jim,
Maguiar's has a series of products that are numbered, from Swirl Remover
(9) to Medium Cut Cleaner (1). The smaller the number, the more
abrasive (they also have a thermometer-like graphic to show
abrasiveness). I'd start with a higher number cleaner--maybe the Fine
Cut (2). If that works, great, if not, try the next, more aggressive
product. The more aggressive products should be used with a polisher.
If you buy a polisher, get an orbital or "dual action" (unless you want
to use the car for practice with a standard polisher--almost guaranteed
you'll burn or gouge the paint). There's lots of info on the 'net,
here's one: http://video.yahoo.com/watch/108451/1287613
Other companies have similar products, but I haven't tried them and
Maguiar's is available pretty much everywhere.
