Best Rubbing Compound?
I know some of you are detailers...so my question is, what would be the best rubbing compound for me to buy? Car's paint is oxidized/faded...so i'd like to really get him to shine...any suggestions would be great! That way i can get it back on the road to looking new! :burnout:

awesome....that is helping...i just didn't know if rubbing compound was rubbing compound or if there was a product better then the other...i personally like mothers/meguiars stuff...but i wasn't sure if there was something else out there that did a better job :)


my dad just brought home some stuff that he uses...so i'm gonna go try it out and take some pics..hopefully it will give me the results that i'm looking for ;) thanks for all the help guys!
