i have just recently been handed a 1996 S500 mercedes benz from my father. the car is in nearly off the lot condition it has a dark midnight blue paint job. it has been gagrage kept sinse day 1 and has only been rained on 2 times since we have owned it. never the less never seen a snowfall or salty condition. it only driven 5 months out of the year and is kept in a temperature controlled garage. just running that past to give an idea on the paints condition. its great. but with my irritating attention to detail i know it could sparkle like a crystal chandalear. it has very very light swirl marks on it. it was buffed and waxed about a year and a half
ago about a month before he stopped driving it. i want to do a complete buff and wax to car. but im not too fimilear with what to use on it. im new to using a rotary buffer. what would get the job done? i have about $300 to spend on product. thats including the buffer. im used to doing everything by hand and im wondering what is the biggest differance in hand and machine application? another thing what could give me the best results with OTC products. iv always used meguiars products. but i see that there are greater reviews for other products. and a big question. what is the results from applying wax with bare hands rather applicator pads? does it have something to do with heating the wax? im more than sure i can get some help from here than asking a pepboys salesman lol.
