Thousand eight Prius is looking a little old and do we buff out using a wax machine?

    I have never waxed my Prius in for five years and it does have some scratches. I wasn't sure if they use rubbing compound or if I could just use a carving about wax with a wax buffer machine with the two handles? Not sure if they even do that anymore on cars

    Wash the car twice using clean solution each time (bucket wash).

    After that dry the car, then claybar it.

    Wash the car again (bucket wash) and dry it.

    Then wax it by hand. Polish by hand, machine will burn the paint.

    Bet it will look better afterwards.

    Take your time and don't hurry.
