[V8] Car polish test

[Bob & Missy]

If you have older paint that may have some oxidation or swirl marks from
improper washing or waxing, I recommend this 3M product:
http://www.3m.com/product/g_index/Glaze,_3M(TM)_Machine_(BK)_00.jhtml  After
applying it, you'll want to use your wax of choice to prevent further
oxidation.  You *must* use a foam pad or you'll get swirl marks.  It says
Machine, but I did my car by hand.

If the paint is heavily oxidized, they have some other stuff that can be
used that worked really well on my black car.  It went from looking greyish
to glossy black, but I used a Harbor Freight buffer to speed up the job.
Then I used the glaze and finally whatever wax I had laying around (*gasp*).
If I had color sanded the paint, it would have had a show car appearance.
Amazing stuff.
