Ok, so I'm a detailing n00b. I wash. I wax. I nap. That's about it. But my truck has several spot where the paint is rough and the clear is pretty scratched up all over the truck. I have an angle grinder and was looking at pics of buffers...they look the dang same so I'm wondering...can I adapt a polishing pad to the angle grinder and it'll work?

From what I've read, I want to use a foam pad with a light polishing solution, no compounds. I'm mostly just looking to make the paint (in the areas where it's not TOO bad) glisten and shine and not look all dull from the millions of little scratches all in it.

What say ya'll?
