I'm in the process of painting my car. I'm using single-stage paint.

I've got a practice hood painted in the color I'd like to use (it's a glossy gray, not a Porsche color). I'd like to use some sort of polishing compound on it to get it extra shiny.

What do you all recommend? I'd like some sort of system, rather than buying a mix and match of various brands.

I was looking at:
1. 3m "Perfect It" system: https://www.amazon.com/3M-POLISHING-39062-3...3/dp/B0082LK87Y
3 polishes, 3 wheels. About $135

2. Norton "Liquid Ice". One polish, 3 different polishing wheels. About $135

3. Meguiars Solo Cut & Polish Cream #86 with a wool pad and a polishing disk. About $60.

Thoughts?

I used the Maguire system and DA. Start with the 3000 pads and then moved though the three foams and compounds/wax. It works very fast and little worry about burning an edge. Loved it for my first paint job.Attached Image
