Thanks for the detailed info! I'll be ordering the supplies this week to give it a try, and will definitely post the results.

Well I finally made some time to try out the equipment and supplies. I did go with the Poor Boy's polishes and used Lake Country yellow and white pads.

The photo montage below shows the effect on my Subaru daily driver. Top set are taken with flash in the garage, bottom are in filtered (through the trees) sunlight. Left is after polishing and right is in the original "with swirls" state.

I will follow with a second photo posting showing on-car direct comparison in sunlight. I did a half-done, half-not to show the difference more clearly.

I'll be practicing on the rest of this car and our other daily driver before moving on to the Boxster. The Boxster should require a lot less work I expect. I've been really pleased with the results so far and it is way easier than doing similar work by hand!
