Here is what I did to make the paint shine! Wash was done using the two bucket method and chemical guys Mr Pink. This was done inside the garage using 5 gallon buckets and a drill pump to create some water pressure. Then used a more concentrated soap solution and Nanoskin Autoscrub and the DA on setting 2 to decontaminate the paint. Dried using microfiber and a clean water bucket. I then taped off the trim using green frog tape. Polish was with Orange pad and Meguiars 205 with occasional water spray to unload the pad. Partial hand wipe with microfiber then buff the rest off with a terry bonnet. There were some fine imperfections still present after that step. I made the decision to use HD SPEED with the pink pad. The HD SPEED is an All In One polish / glaze and typically detailers will use this with the Orange pad as a true All In One / one step polish and protect. I used the pink pad because I did not want to be so aggressive - most of the scratches were taken out by the first step. I was really just looking for the glaze and minor polishing. This step left a very nice depth of color and as I expected almost all of the left over imperfections from the first step were gone. The last step was hand wipe after removing the tape.
Retrospective: The Nanoskin Autoscrub left some micro marring. I should have added that soap solution to a spray bottle or even used a spray detailer to mist the areas I was working on. The marring came out with the polish.
