So can anyone give me a nice complete lesson in auto body paint restoration from the ground up? Take me to auto exterior school so to speak.

What i already know,

Washing the car, types of washes to use, multi bucket method, wheel cleaning, drying etc.

Clay bar usage, Show car shine, bug and tar removal, basic waxing, making off plastics.

What i want to know.

How to remove surface scratches and what to do about deep scratches.

After full wash, clay bar, etc, start from first step to last step including how to do each step.

What order is every step done in, what does each step do and how to do each step.

I am not looking to take a fadded pink looking vett and make it new, i am looking to learn about products, what the products do, how to use the products and how to start learning to make cars look beautiful. From the basic paint fix to removing scratches to getting cars ready for the show.

bro....you need to go to Detailedimage.com an read some of their write ups. they havea=n awesome how to section. then come back here an ask what we have used. i like the Meguiers pro series compouns, polishes etc. Some auto parts stores carry them. My Oreillys auto does. you will also need a DA polisher...like the Porter Cable 7424 or their new XP. Then theirs the Lake country pads...oh my..........there are tons of products out there......
