Using compound on original paint? 140-160 1972

posted by  someone claiming to be mjamgb on  Fri Apr 30 07:22 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I'd start with a high quality "cleaner wax" like Mother's California Gold. These type of waxes have a very mild abrasive in them to help strip off any old yellowed wax. That and a LOT of elbow grease!
I had an old VW double-cab (miss that beast) that was a powder-blue color and very oxidized. Several weekends and very small areas at a time and I was able to bring it back (except for the roof... no paint left but the primer was nice and shiney!). Ended up being a nice medium blue.

g'luck,

Mike!
