Then you are ready to try buffing, I like the foam pads I believe the lighter the color the finer the pad I use a yellow pad. Throw a sheet over the convertable top as dried compound is tuff to remove. If you do one panel the polish with a micro fiber rag you should be able to tell if you are getting the result you want. On the sharp edges just use a rag and some compound

Thanks Cape Codder. Any tips on what brand or type of compound to get?
