Hey guys, i was just wondering does anyone have some tips and tricks on keeping your cars mickey mouse , i have a white 97 vs exec and cant seem to get oil finger marks off the paint, not only that the cars paint itself is like fine sandpaper not rough but isn't smooth either. Anyone have suggestions on how to get it looking good, any products i should be using, any techniques. post photos guys i would appreciate some response. Regards sle3per. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Easiest way would be as above: Wash it Clay bar (don't worry if you don't have it, the car will still come up good anyway) Cutting polish Wax I wouldnt recommend using a buffing machine unless you've used one before and know what you're doing, hand polish will come up good but will probably take abit longer.
