Hey guys, looking to get some swirls out. I also have a few rock chips I'd like to work on as well. Last, my buddy have a orbital brush, but no pads. Can I pick a few up at autozone or walmart? Same with the polishes and whatever's needed to repair the chips. I'd prefer to be able to pick them up in person, even if it's not as top notch as it could be.


What's the process/materials needed to get this banged out?

Polisher will not hide chips, you need to fill them in with paint first so they are even with the rest of the surface. You can try using plain touch up paint and then the polisher to blend them in but you will more then likely end up doing the whole car since the chip areas will end up being clean spots.

I used the paint chip kit from www.drcolorchip.com and got incredible results even on my laser red paint
