if you can afford about £100 get a profesional one use a sponge pad farecla g3 polish and dip the sponge in a bucket of water apply a finger full of polish to the pad keep the pad moving while polishing applying moderate presure and keep dipping the pad (not the machine) into the water youl get soaked but practice l make perfect oh and keep off any edges and corners (sharp bits )or youl go through the paint
