Question

Vehicle back
My 2002 has many tiny orange in color spots. I have pictures of the spots. I have not waxed it since I bought it in 02, always meant to. I hope to use rubbing compound and then wax. What do you think?

Answer
RIKKI....THAT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD IDEA BASED OFF THE PHOTO. MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE A FINE COMPOUND AND THEN WAX AFTER. COMPOUNDS COME IN FINE,MEDIUM AND COURSE. THE FINE WILL REQUIRE A LITTLE BIT MORE ELBOW GREASE BUT IS SAFER TO USE.

WAX AFTER COMPOUNDING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS.
