Thanks. I used a high speed buffer and Meguiar's Ultimate Compound with a pretty aggressive wool pad for the first pass. Then Meguiar's polish with a mild foam pad for the second pass and NXT was with a random orbital to finish up. I wish I'd taken some "before" pics because the paint was pretty neglected.

This is the second car I've done with the same procedure and I'm pretty happy. The Ulitmate Compound is available at Walmart and it works like magic. You need a real buffer to get a good result.

The damage was too severe for the buffer to deal with the front bumper. That's going to need a respray some day.
