How much skill is involved in buffing? Is it something best practiced on
someone else's car?
I just bought Meguire's 3 step process and their scratch remover. I
experimented with the scratch remover as I have some deep scratches on the
bonnet, but I haven't got to the other stuff yet. It did bring some red out,
but my bonnet and boot lid have what looks like water spots in the paint and
the rest of the upwards facing surfaces are dull.
