wasnt getting any replies in the main forum, so i'll try here.
a friend just bought this truck for 100 bucks..it runs and isnt in too bad of shape mechanically. the paint is just flat faded to hell and there is rust everywhere in the typical spots for the 1st gen S-10's.
He brought it over and I quickly washed the hood, clayed it, then tried SSR 2.5 with a yellow propel pad on my PC. This is the most aggressive combo that I have. I only spent about 10-15 minutes on half of the hood, and i did see an improvement...but im sure it can get better with more aggressive pads and compounds.
what pad should i get for my PC to get this? i was planning on a orange propel or maybe even a wool pad? he has some 3M rubbing compound stuff in a huge industrial size bottle from a body shop...i think it is pink or peach? is this stuff stronger than SSR 2.5? If not, what should I get?
Here are a few pictures of the truck...you can see the half of the hood that I worked on. I've probably done about 7-8 different cars, but this is the oldest and worst condition paint. It was the only vehicle that left paint all over my pad.....it came right off though. we were both more suprised that the paint is actually a metallic blue haha.
