Well, I decided to tackle my paint problem this weekend. I planned on getting an orbital buffer like THIS one.
There are many swirls in my paint. If I can get those out, I would be extremely happy.
But, the worst part is the hood, and one section above the rear/left tire. There are spider webs in the paint. I CANNOT feel them with my fingernail, as I go across the paint, nor with my fingertips. I wondered if I should even bother with trying to wax those sections, and go straight to wet sanding? Here is a pic.
That is the best shot I could get. I haven't played with the camera enough.
Let me know what you think. Would the above buffer work well? Which compound should I start with?
I already own Meguiar's 3 step "deep crystal" system which consists of
#1 Paint cleaner, #2 polish, and #3 Carnuba Wax. Should I stick with those, and just use the orbital buffer?
I waxed the car by hand before, and used 2 coats each, which took a very long time!!!!
