I am looking at buying a rotary polishing machine to improve the quality of the paintwork on my car and was wondering:

A. What the best products are to use
B. What order these need to be used to achieve the sort of shine that Kelly always manages at KDS
C. What is the best overall piece of kit in terms of the polishing machine.

I was going to start off with claying the bodywork, again, what sort of clay and what lubricant to use?

I bought a tub of DODO JUICE PURPLE HAZE which seems to be good, but I want to make sure I am using the right products in the right order.

The car is an E46 BMW M3 in Carbon Black. The paintwork is in good condition, but when I see some of the photos on the forum of cars that have been detailed, the difference is incredible. There is a guy on the Supercardrivers.com website that displayed some photos of various cars that he had detailed; one of them was a CSL, and the pictures speak for themselves. I want to remove some swirl marks and general small scratches and give the paintwork some depth.


Any help would be much appreciated.
