Bought my 50th aniversary vette last week from a Doctor had 8700 miles on it for $21500, its a coupe and it has some scratches on it.Sat in the garage in Michigan where the kids play. Its silver in color and im going to start on the hatch back just in case i screw up. Thinking I should wet sand with 2000 grit then finish with 2400 then buff with a polish. whats the best STUFF I should buff with?

When the ShowroomFX guys wet-sanded and polished my GTO for me, they used Menzerna polishes and had really good results.
