Hello, I have fresh, 6 month old paint on my hood, and I am ready to go ahead and put some wax on it. I have a few questions first though.

How do i begin? Just a wax? polish then wax? or... a paint cleaner, polish, then wax?

Bird poop - a couple of times i washed bird poop off and noticed surface scratched attributable to my rag when washing off. I polished the stain with Meguires #2 polish. I noticed a heavier surface scratchy-ness on it. Is the polish being too abrasive?

lastly, there are some DA marks that id like to polish out. ive tried to find my paint manufacturer online to no avail. my body shop told me it was made by ICI. anyone heard of this?
