howdy all

I have a few questions regarding proper items/ procedures for some paint
problems im having...

Within the last year ive been neglecting car washes and the paint is
starting to look like crap. I have a lot of "spots" on the hood and any
outer areas that are horizontal, they look like small red spots. Sometimes
if i scrub them hard for A WHILE while im washing they SOMETIMES disappear.
I think i got them from a tree i used to park under.

I removed them once before with some 3M rubbing compound and a low speed
buffer. But damn, that took forever.

Aynway, its now a year later, the buffers gone, im out of the 3m compound,
and im scratching my head as to what/how i should go about doing this
"reconditioning" of the paint.

So here are my questions, in no particular order:

1. Brand Recommendations for a good buffer (mid speed/ variable/ whatever)
price?

2. If I should use rubbing compound, what brand/ type?

3. which car wash brand gives the best results?

4. (same question above) wax?

Basically im looking for things DML'ers have used and would recommend.

Thanks!
