Polishing help?

I am ready to start polishing my RX-7, I don't have any wax so I will probably do that later, but I do have Tamiya Rubbing Compound...

The question I have after reading the FAQ on how to polish is what type of cloth do I use and where can i get them?

Another Q: I heard that Tamiya is not making the polish anymore? If so what can I use as a subsitute and where would i find it? Thanks alot

any clean towel should do, but an automotive detailing towel would be better

I use cotton, pharmacy cotton I mean, works really well, but most of the people uses old cotton shirts, but I found them a bit agresive.
Yes there is no more compound from tamiya, you can try novus 3 and 2, you can buy them at www.micromark.com, here have been people that have talked about the hasegawa compound 2000 or something like that, look on hlj.com under hasegawa finishing product or tools or something like that, I've heard that is really good, but I've never tried it, only compound and novus, and the wax is a must, cause you must protect the paint after polishing

what is an auto detailing cloth and where would i find one?

i think its called a terry cloth, and any auto parts store should have it

Somethink nice and soft like wool is about the best you can get.
