Hi List,
        My TR6 was painted by the DPO in his shed.  It's not a bad paint job, 
but it's 
never been properly buffed out.  There is a haze over it, even when waxed.  
It's an 
acrylic enamel.
        I did wet sand the whole car with 1000 and then 1200.  Then I hand 
buffed 
with 3M Super-Duty Rubbing Compund, followed with Meguire's Fine-Cut Cleaner 
#2.  But, it seems what the labels say is true: these products for machine use.
         Can anyone recommend what I should look for in an electric buffer and 
pads?  Can I use the same tool for application and buffing of wax?  Any BTDT 
advice on buffing?
        Anyway, the older I get, the more I like power tools.

        Thanks to all for help,

        Rick (not a body man)  TR6 (Hazy Red) CF2570U
