because it makes more of a mess. i use it if i have deep scratches or something but most of the time compound isnt necessary. i buff cars everyday at work and just find it easier to not mess with compound if i dont have to.

 

oh okkk well its just a suggestionn! let me know how it works outt

 

Rubbing compounds can be harsh on the clear coat. Some good scratch remover like Mother's or Maguires is safe to use. I used wht I thought was a mild rubbing compound on a car once took the clear coat right off.

 

Agreed compounds way to harsh for modern clear coats.
There is polishes that can remove minor scratches and not harm your clear coat.
This is what I use when I do a detail.
Adam's Severe Swirl Remover Polish

 

Thanks a lot everyone, Ill let you know how it turns out.

Where you been Jaws

 

Was on vacation the last few days, didn't resize I was getting an internet connection till yesterday, just never checked, oh well lol.

 

Agree with everyone on rubbing compund. There are some very fine polishing compunds that are applied with a buffer that you could try. However, I would try a good wax like Maguirs Ultimate or NXT-2, I have used the latter on my Monte and the wife's G6 this summer after using Gold Class the past couple of years, and it does a great job. If you are still not happy with the results, it's easy enough to strip the wax and try polishing it.

 

say no to compound this was done with out any compound
