Do you have a buffer? If you don't have one, your going to want to invest in a good one.

Here's the 3M part numbers for the other products your going to want to use:

3M "Perfect It" Compound (Part Number: 39060)
3M "Perfect It" Foam Pad Polishing Glaze (part number: 05996)
3M "Perfect It" Foam Polishing Pad (Part Number: 05725)
3M "Perfect It" Wool Compound Pad (Part Number: 05753)

Most any autobody supply that carries 3M products will have it, these are pro grade products and will give you by far the best results! If you want to make your paint finish look like new (If the paint is good still), you can color sand it and it will make a night and day differance!

the paints still good but i dont wanna color sand and risk it having some weak spots and going threw the clear. i have a decent buffer. 7 speed varible. heres how i want it to shine, may not be able to without repainting but im gonna try

I can't tell from the pictures of yours how much the paint shines. Is there much orange peel in the paint? If you want a mirror finish, you can't have any orange peel. If you cut it with the compound I posted along using your wool pad, then follow up with the glaze and foam pad; your going to get the best possible results as long as you know what your doing! And light colors like yours are a lot more forgiving then dark colors!

ive buffed a few vehicles but they never turn out like that, ive always just used a foam pad tho.

The wool pad and compound are key as well. Let me see if I can dig up a few pictures of some of the vehicles I've done to show you what you can do with em!
