    What products to buy for buffing and polishing by hand?

    Hi all

    I'm writing this during my break from wet sanding, it's looking good so far, can anyone tell me what products (brand & name) I'll need to buff and polish my clearcoat by hand? Will be heading to SCA tomorrow to pick up the goods.

    I'll need:
    Cutting compound?
    Polishing compound?
    Scratch and swirl remover?
    Some sort of foam pad?

    Cheers, Joe

    What is this micromesh stuff? I've seen it get thrown around the forum but I don't know what it is.
