Help to form a plan of attack on this...

[imported_sal3291]

Talked to a guy yesterday that has an older Red Chevy pick up. It was repainted 5 years ago and has a clear coat. The truck looks great well most of it. The hood and roof are oxidized like no tomorrow. I looked at it and asked him who tried to fix it. He pulled out Meguiars Ultimate Compound and said he tried by hand. He began to talk and tell me how he builds cars and use to detail. Well I took 2 pics with my phone to try and get some direction from the experts here. I have never had paint this bad before. Using a PC what form of attack can I try? I was thinking of M105 on an Oranage LC Pad maybe step up to the 3.5 PFW or a 4" yellow foam?



here are the pics

Well, first off CC paint doesn't oxidize.



Take a cotton towel with a polish and rub the paint where you took the pictures of. Make sure that it is CC. If the towel turns red, it is single stage paint.



In any case, orange or yellow pad to start with and make sure to work the polish in until broken down completely.



105 and and an orange pad would be my first step.



Good luck.
