Previous owner allowed some acid rain damage on the top surfaces of the car. Car also has a lot of swirling.



I recently bought the SFX PC kit and some sonus 2 and 3 for my other car, which I didn't think required anything stronger (like SFX-1 Restore). Well, I think this black car might need something more harsh.



Can you guys recommend a "recipe" of products that will get the best results from a heavily swirled black car?



One slight advantage (if you can call it that) is that the hood has some actual structural damage (prev owner dropped something on it), so I can experiment on the hood to get an idea of what the end results might be for the rest of the car. I might even be interested in trying some wet-sanding on the hood to determine how effective it might be in removing a couple of deeper scratches on other parts of the car.



Thanks!

Just buy SFX1 since you have everything else, get some 4" pads and bp plate while your at it.





Regardless of the hood you should be doing a test section anyways.
 
also - I wanted to re-mention - the acid rain damage is pretty bad. I'm not 100% sure that there is enough clear remaining inside the "pits" of the acid rain. Really, looking at it closely, it looks like the surface of the moon. Too bad too, because the car has low miles and the paint is in pretty good overall condition on the sides.
 
Ok. Autopia is out of stock on some of their SFX pads and people are having trouble with some of the LC pads... I'm ready to order but I dont know which ones to get?
 
BTW, AG carries 5.5" white polishing pads and 5.5" orange light cut pads, those would set you up nicely.

In those cases it's often not smart to remove all the etching. It's pretty much a wetsand/rotary type of job anyhow. You can PC away for hours and still not fix it, at least IME.
