Parking 20 yards from the ocean every day doesn't help...

[NogaroSB]

Most of the year I park my car outside in Southern california, very close to the ocean. I haven't waxed in about 6 months. I have some deposits and light scratches. I'm not looking to do anything too intensive at this point

If you had 6hrs to work on this paint, what would you do? I have a porter cable orbital. I don't want to get aggressive with compounds..I don't want to risk paint damage (by me).

Is there an alternative to using clay?

I also looked at the Powerball for Paint as a possible one-step "compromise."

6 hrs with a porter cable? hmmm I'd do only half of the car. Specially if it's an Audi.

If you have very little time, a PC, and don't want to do anything intensive, then I'd use Klasse AIO. However, don't skip the clay bar.
