This works very well Phil :

It uses "diminishing abrasives" so the more you work it, the smoother it gets.

A useful tip is to get one of those plant sprayers (usually about 1L) and fill it full of water then damp each panel down before you start. Sometimes you might need to damp it down a little "mid-treatment" but not often.

Damping it down to start helps the compound to spread out more easily resulting in a better finish for less effort and less chance of a missed corner getting dried compound on that is difficult to remove once dry.

You can put it on using a machine polisher (Dual Action/DA is better than plain rotary) and then buff it by hand or with the right buffing pad on the polisher, with the machine.

While it won't take all the "craze" out of the lacquer, it will take a lot out and the Deep Crystal will give it some "pop" until funds permit a total respray. It does have to be used in order though, the Paint Cleaner first, then the Deep Crystal and finally the Carnauba Wax to seal the shine in.

Who knows - you might even decide it doesn't need a respray after that lot!
