much better and quicker if you use a machine mate, you'll be there forever by hand as even doing it properly with a machine can take up a whole day!!!!

Machine polisher. For cars. Get all the swirls out. (I think by slightly sanding them off the paintwork by 0.01mm or something lol but there about £100 and that's how you see the shine

if you are a beginner with a machine polisher you dont want to get a circular polisher as you could end damaging your paint if you are not careful.
your best bet is to get a Porter Cable 7424 random orbital (i have one of these) or the Meguiars G220 which as the name sugest they make a oval movement when using them so you cant end up going too mad on the same part of the paint work.

there are a few details here http://guidetodetailing.com/detailing-t ... -polisher/
