Just polished it today. I still need to finish up the driver's side and part of the bumpers, but my pad ripped apart, so I need to get a new one. There isn't much of a noticeable difference from a distance, but I just wanted to get rid of some fine swirls.
Next up is cleaning it again (because hand buffing all the excess polish off with a microfiber takes forever), applying opti-seal paint sealant, and then dressing my tires and trim pieces. Also my windows are really dirty so I'll clean and rain-x those.
I used a DA polisher from harbor freight along with a foam polishing pad. The car was already pretty shiny to start with. For polish I used Meguiars M205 polish.
The process was pretty straightforward, I worked in small sections, and masked off areas I knew excess polish would get into (along the seams and trim pieces) with ordinary blue painters tape.
Then I just buffed out the excess polish left on the car with a microfiber cloth.
