Hello all. I have a 2015 Toyota Tundra that I purchased in May of last year. It is parked in a garage, basically all the time - I work from home and only travel out to run errands and on the weekends. It has no scratches or swirl marks.
I received some Adams products as a gift (spray wax and clay bar). I'm very pleased with them, and want to take things a step further. I'm particular about my vehicle and enjoy having it look nice. My original thought was to get the entry-level polisher (Porter Cable) and wax to really make it shine. However, after watching several of the videos (which are VERY helpful, by the way), I'm starting to think that maybe I don't need the polisher. Everything that I'm reading and watching notes that they are used for "paint correcting". Since I don't have anything that needs correcting - what products do I need to achieve a high-quality shine? I'm not looking for concourse quality finish, just something that is going to look nice on a daily driver.
Will hand-polishing be sufficient?
Clay bar the entire vehicle, followed by polishing?
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
