Acid Rain Issue

Hello all,



I have a 1997 Ford Explorer that looks good from far away, but once you come up on the hood, opinions change.



The hood is driving me nuts, the only product I have used on it is Zaino PC with a Porter Cable. Polishing pad used on the PC is CCS Orange Cutting pad. I am in the process of picking up some Menzerna IP and FP.



What recommendations do you guys have on what products would get better results and techniques.

Any help is greatly appreciated and this site is amazing!
 
Has it been repainted? Looks like a bunch of tiny checking rather than Acid Rain. Paint looks really bumpy (not flat) and doesn't resemble AR. Where else is this problem besides the hood?
 
Hood is factory sprayed. The hood and roof are in the same condition. The paint is smooth to the touch also. I am now thinking its just really bad damnage to my clear.
 
Anyone else have any other suggestions?



You think IP will help lighten these blemishes some? I am not looking for perfection but I would like it to be less noticeable.
