Sanding is, without a doubt, the best way to go. Do like I did and do it while you watch TV. Start with 800, then work your way up to 1500 or 2000 grit. Then go over it with rubbing compound, and finally polishing compound. You'll be amazed!

You can get by without doing the rubbing/polishing compound. Just by a multi-grit sandpaper pack from Wally World. It's about $3-$4. In my experience, sanding is the only way you'll get lasting results you'll be happy with.

A pack of 5 of each grit sand paper is ... $6-$7 ALL TOGETHER, the plastiX is the only thing you need $10 for. D: If you don't want plastix, no problem, borrow some syn wax or polish from a friend, buy the bloody sand paper you fool! Btw, if you do buy the sand paper, do a good hard 10 - 15 minute job with each piece of sand paper, it's a good workout and it'll make sure you don't waste any paper.
