Turtle wax polish and scratch remover.

Well today I washed my evo and decided to polish the car, turtle wax polish & scratch remover(paste)works fantastic but its a pain in the @*** to get it off, it took me 1hr to do the damn hood! I started with the hood cause it was looking kinda yellowish and dull but after the polish and wax detailer it looks brand new. If anybody has used this before you know what I'm talking about, anyways anybody know of a good polish that gives the same results but that its not a pain the butt to take off ? Do liquid polishes work just as good ?

You should be looking into machine polishing. I personally have a flex xc 3401 polisher and use menzerna polishes. It's a bit expensive to start since you have to buy the polishes and equipment by you could always look into having it professionally detailed. I recently posted a thread in the detailing section with the results I had detailing my evo.

I love Menzerna polishes, works incredible and have saved multiple vehicles with em. Highly suggested. Finally got the evo back after being gone for 9 months so now its time to do the same to it

I'm not generally a fan of Turtle Wax products, but I had their Ice liquid polish lying around and decided to be lazy... It's a bit more like a glaze than a polish, but it did work quite well and I'm honestly not unhappy with the results. I mean, there has definitely been more depth to the paint in the past (Chemical Guys products FTW) but for a quick low-hassle job it did the trick nicely.

A glaze will give you that "new" paint finish since it just fills in the imperfections but its definitely a quick way to make your car look new if you don't want to spend the money to have it detailed or buy all the equipment and products that go along with polishing.
