Mike, I agree with you about Germans and Italians, even though I am half Italian! I don't know much about the Germans driving habits, but I have to tell you that driving in Italy is fun! Dr. Pain on another post, suggested the use of Spotless, which I bought but haven't had the time to...

Mike, I agree with you about German cars; I even have (overseas) an "Italian" car that is actually German (I am sure you know which brand I am talking about). Once, long ago, we had here in the US our Autobahn, in Montana. You probably remember that. Long ago though, but I've never had the...

Jesus Christ, Mike; is there anything you haven't done with these things yet? :) I was taking a good look at the M3; it does shine like brand new; looking from a few feet away you wouldn't be able to see a single blemish. Those damn water spots. And the windows... looks like it there was a film...

You've got a point here... I actually didn't know I wouldn't be able to use the RUPES 21 or 15 in those areas. I have two cars; a 2012 M3 and a 2013 Elantra, with an M4 coming by March or April next year. These are the cars I'd be using the machines on. The Griots 6 would take care of everything...

Mike, I wasn't thinking about using OEM RUPES pads and liquids; rather Wolfgang or Menzerna. I thought about the RUPES just because I've heard they are one step above the others, which may not be true. Do you use a Flex? Thank you again. Brgds.

One word, AMAZING! Thanks for sending this Mike. It is now time to learn which polishing pads to get with the Rupes. But I will get there! Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and for having the patience answering me. Brgds,

Another question, if I may: I have Pinnacle Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish and Diamond Paint Coating; would they be something I could also use? Thanks again. Brgds.

Thanks for the congrats Mike, but I have had the car since 2012; it is now time to take a really good care of her! I will definitely take a look at the link you sent on Wolfgang; I do have a few Wolfgang products that I have used by hand. I like them. Thank you much for your reply and...

It did help! Wonderful job. I wish you were in SE FL. thank you. Brgds.

It looks like Menzerna is the way to go. Thank you much. Brgds.

Forgot to mention; I am going to finally get a DA polisher; is the Menzerna all good for that kind of application? I am going to get a Rupes (not sure if a 21 or 15). It is time for me to get into this DA thing. Tired of hand wax my cars. Brgds.

Paint is pretty good, I think (I know nothing) that a very fine polish thing would do it. I thank you much for your recommendation. I've heard a lot of Menzerna.

It is clear coated. So, what polish compound would you recommend?

Hello Everyone, So I was reading the forum and learned that there are different types of paint; acrylic, ceramic, hard paint, things like that. I have no idea what kind my car is, so I can buy a polish compound specific for it. Car is a 2012 BMW M3, Alpine White. I'd appreciate if someone could...

Don, Actually, other than the water spots, paint is in perfect condition (or so I think). I like the idea of buying a polisher and learn how to use it though. But wouldn't even know what chemical to use. Thank you. Brgds.

Thank you all for your replies. I am going to use the Spotless and will let you know the results. I am assuming that if the spots are gone after the Spotless, I will not need to machine polish the car; am I correct? Reason I am asking is that I don't have a polisher but had put one in the cart...
