Bought 10 year old Land Cruiser, Need Guidance!

[atxman]

Hey all, i just recently bought a land cruiser and im going to apply some TLC to the vehicle.



What should I buy and how would i use it??



Im going to purchase a PC7424 from amazon- if i shouldn't buy it, please explain why.



I washed the truck and this is whats obvious

And on this shot it looks like the clear cloat is jacked up.. what should i use to fix this?

So looking for an advise and perhaps a mentor, i could easily pay a professional to revive the paint back, but prefer to learn and gain a skill that i can use perhaps as a hobby and make money.

What state are you in? I'd get Meg's M105/M205 for your PC along with a couple Lake Country 5.5 orange and white flat pads and have at it. If an Autopian is close they can come by and give you a few pointers to get you started in the right direction.

I'm not sure who is closer, but I'd check with either ScottWax or JoshVette. Both are great detailers.

You will get more correction in less time with 5.5" pads....less of the polishers energy will be lost with the smaller pads. Make sure to get the smaller backing plate.

I was considering going with the 5.5 pads, ill go ahead and execute the order.



Thanks for heads up!
