Default Condition of finish? Paint color? Purpose for the polish?

To provide a helpful answer, we need a little more information - most importantly, what are you looking to get out of the polish? Removing swirls/spider-webbing, brightening up a dull finish, or just cleaning off a winter's worth of deposition? That kind of info will help limit the answers you get. Without it, you might just get people vomiting brands and product names at you. ;-)

Also, will you be working by hand or do you have a machine to help?

Default LOL! For brightening up a dull finish and cleaning off a winter's worth of deposition...

Should have known to provide more info....

Going on a Santorin blue S4....

I'll perhaps do it with a electric buffer once, but for the most post applied/removed via hand.

Thanks....

Default In that case, a good cleaning polish will do the trick -- try P21S GEPC or Klasse AIO

They both do a nice job of preparing a paint surface for wax. If you have minor swirling, the GEPC will do a better job of filling than AIO will.

Actually, you can save a few bucks by buying S100's "Shine Enhancing Cleanser" instead of the P21S GEPC. Its the same product with different labeling. You can pick it up at Harley dealers (S100 is P21S's "marketed for motorcycles" product line). For some reason its cheaper than GEPC.

Just apply with a foam pad and remove like you would a wax.

Good luck.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autogeek.net/s1shencl.html">S100 Shine Enhancing Cleanser</a></li></ul>
