are you set with the compounds and polishes you need?
I was looking for some guidance for the compounds and polishes as well. Also the pictures. I haven't washed it yet this week, so it's a little dirty, but hopefully you can see the scratches. They don't seem too severe, so I'm not sure how to go about the correction. I was blinded by the light, but I figured those would be the best angles to get shots from:

Was thinking Blackfire Wet Diamond, if the answer is, "Yes!".

Thanks!
Collinite 845 would be great as a stand alone product.

I was planning on purchasing this one. I'm just unsure of which pads/compound/polish would compliment it best. I have a junker I can test my technique with as well.

So what is your recommended way of buffing off wax? Currently I just use a folded microfiber and use a different side once that side starts to fill up. If there's a particular spot that isn't coming off easy I've used quick detailer to help it come off. Should I use an orbital for removal also?

you got it right buff off with the clean sides to your microfiber towels.

do not use an orbital polisher to remove.

Hi, i picked up my white 86 recently. During the first wash, noticed a selection of small faint yellow marking.

After chatting to the dealer, he informed me they are Bee sap, and will actually disappears after awhile..

Is that true, if not, is there anything I can do to get rid off it?

In your experience, DD, do you prefer the hose sprayer foaming attachment or the pressure washer attachment? Do they do basically the same thing?

I was referring to this, not the full blown pressure washer assembly:
