Detail help (not the same ol' thread)

[Tuna]

so, as some of you know, my car looks kinda dumb right now because 1/2 of it has been painted, and the other 1/2 has been neglected for years, so, not sure what I need to do and I've never really done anything like it before, I could just slap on some quick detailer but I'd like to kind of "start over" and get a decent shine out of it and then commence waxing and whatnot. I was talking to Simon L and Turbomedic about it a bit at the car show but it got a little over my head .

So any help would be appreciated, and what I'd need to buy/borrow/rent to perform the procedure would also be a big help. If it's really tricky or too expensive to rent stuff I may price out how much for a power polish, and get it done by someone that knows what they are doing.

As the saying goes
"Un-Oh, Better get Macco" - just prep it yourself and you'll get a decent paintjob for well under a grand

Alex / TurboMedic seems to be the resident expert, he just bought a new pro quality polisher. Maybe he can give you a lesson...

Hmmmm....might not be a bad idea, I'm willing to try, but it would help to be shown the ropes for sure.

I'm posting something up about breaking in my new polisher today, I'd be glad to help out if you supply some polish ( I can reccomend a few, you'd need a cleaner wax for sure..)......shoot me a PM....

EDIT: I'm far from expert......
