Re: paint polishing/cleaning If you are doing it by hand it would be 3m imperial hand glaze, and by machine would be 3m machine glaze. you have to be careful with it because you can take the paint off with it. It also works for yellow headlights and other faded plastics(you can use it on everything glass plastic paint etc)

Re: paint polishing/cleaning Nu-finish car wax ive used it on some natsy looking faded s-10's and they have turned out great.
Shine doesnt last a real long time but it is super simple.
Otherwise you will need to look into using a compound/paint cleaner then a Glaze and finish it off with a good carnuba wax.
