Do you have a polisher/buffer of some sort?

My buddy does. Wouldn't be difficult to borrow it for such a small piece of the car.

I'd recommend trying something gentle to begin with, I've always heard good things about Meguiar's M205 (a finishing compound) and M105 (Mild cutting compound).

Hit the spot with M205 first, if it does not get you satisfactory results, attempt to hit it with M105 (or comparable cutting compound).

If that does not go far enough, you could try more aggressive compounds/cutting pads.

Just remember to always try the least aggressive methods first, especially with Honda's notoriously soft paint.

Hello. I know Ginolicious lives in Canada and he will have a hell of a time finding the mirror glaze line of Meguiars. I personally have used Ultimate Compound with excellent results. It is super cheap and you can get it at Crappy Tire. It finishes very well. Just take a microfiber rag and some Ultimate compound and put a little elbow grease in it if you want it to disappear completely.

I don't recommend using a buffer. You'll actually get much more correction working on a small area by hand than using a buffer but buffers are the way to go for buffing a whole panel or car.
