Since it's raining I decided to take some pictures because the paint is otherwise very washed out, I'll treat the paint soon.

Oh is that single stage red paint? I assume you can get Meguiars products where you live?

This stuff is like a miracle on single stage paint and the results last for a long time. Before you do any cutting or buffing, clean it really well (wash, IPA wipe), do a mild clay bar, then apply M7 repeatedly until it stops 'drinking' it in. Let it rest for a day or two THEN do your cutting/polishing/buffing/whatever. If you start with a nicely 'hydrated' paint you'll get much better results in the end because you'll find you need to remove less paint from the car to get the desired results!

Hi there, I need a bit of help, I have been looking all over the internet to find the owner's manual for Suzuki HA-LA23S. Obviously I checked with my local Suzuki dealer but since this car is a Japanese domestic market vehicle that was imported privately, they told me that they can't help with my situation.

So does anyone know anyway for me to get a copy? 

 

I greatly appreciate your help, Thank you!

What are you polishing? What polish are you using? How are you using it?

Engine cases of my Kawasaki GT550(Aluminium), Autosol metal polish and ive used it both with a machine and rubbing by hand. It got a large amount of it shiny but it has done absolutely nothing to the actually ugly spots, only cleaned up the metal that still looked alright-ish

Either a harsher polish with a stiffer applicator on a machine (hard felt on a variable speed dremel/drill) or yes sanding. Start with a higher grit and work down to find the highest grit that takes the imperfections out then work back up the grit until it's polish time.
