Use an abrasive polish that's effective by hand (Poorboy's SSR1 and 2, 1 is easier to work so it will be easier to use if access is awkward) and a M/F applicator to work it in.

What's a M/F applicator ?

Where is the best place to get the poorboys stuff ? Is the t-cut colour restorer stuff not any good to bring the paint back up to scratch ? cheeRS

A Micro-Fibre applicator, something that has a little more bite to work the product than using a foam applicator.

The T-Cut stuff is old technology now, and doesn't have diminishing abrasives like the Poorboy's (and the vast majority of all the newer brands) stuff does, so it's not as safe for the paint.

Lots of places on the net sell the Poorboy's stuff, you won't find it in any shops though
