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. kindasad.gif

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.



Random orbital buffers are the worst, they just put more swirls into your paint. Youre better off doing it by hand or with a proper rotary buffer.
