Anyone know of any cheap rubbing compound that will do a good job? I am on the last step with my car and I need to buff it. Unfortunately I hit my budget and now I am low on money to work on my car. Any help? It will look weird driving around in a color sanded car.

Claybar won't take out sanding marks. It only removes surface contaminates.
I've never had good luck with turtle wax's rubbing compound. If your scratches aren't too bad I would recommend Griot's Garage "Hand Polish Kit". If you have access to a random orbital buffer then I would recommend Griot's Garage "Machine Polish". They come in 4 versions ranging from 4 (finest polish) to 1(medium polish). All are 16 ounce bottles. Each one individually is $17-$13, and the set of four is $52 (you probably would only need the Machine Polish 3 (very fine polish). I use them, as our local Toyota club has a member who is a sales guy for Griot's, and I would recommend them to anyone. However, I doubt you could get it by today or tomorrow for your prom, so go with something from meguires for now. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
