You need Meguiars #7 Glaze. Lots of it. It goes on by hand, leave one coat over night. Next day re-apply. Using fiber towels to put on & remove. You are restoring old lacquer (single stage of yesterday) by replenishing the dried paint w/natural oils. After 5-6 coats it will begin to shine. Keep going, be patient! Using a cutter/polish will strip away too much paint. Esp. a rookie. When a real shine emerges, a foam pad (blue or red) on a Dual action polisher (Porter Cable) light touch and several more coats of #7 will amaze you. Top it w/several coats of SEALANT (wax is inferior) of your choice.
