So the wife and I are buying a 2006 white accord for our dd. The car is in really good condition, but the paint is dull. What should my plan of attack be in order to bring back the shine in the paint?

The Honda paint is very forgiving and easy to work with and buff. Do a 3 stage paint correction. Ie. a good buff and wax/seal. I use Adams or chemical guys stuff. You should clay bar first. Then buff two stages. Cutting then finish compound. Then apply sealant. I now will never use a wax again after using a good sealant. You can put wax over the sealant though to bring out a little more deep reflection. The depth of the reflection is all about the polishing not wax. I do detail work on the side. So im always trying new stuff and methods. Buy yourself a porter cable 7424xp or go to harbor freight and get their DA polisher. Very good quality and price. Very comparable to the porter cable. The HF Da gets very good reviews. I love mine.

It should work ok. If you have a paint supply store around you, the meguiars 105 compound is great. And 3m products are great. I use both. Meguiars professional stuff is awesome products. Get some of their #21 sealant to finish the job. Use this instead of wax. Or if you feel like it, put it on top of sealant.
