I figured I would try the Meguiars #7 procedure and purchased a bottle. It's not cheap but hopefully it will accomplish the mission.
Thanks again... Rich

I recently used #7 y applying it and let is sit overnight. I used a terry cloth rag to remove and followed up with wax. Came out great!
Show us some pics! |

I think I put near half a quart into my Corvette before it started to shine...
And Dave's old L78 vert - after clay barring and one application of Meguires number 7. A couple of drips from the factory...

Very nice, you can't hurt anything with wax.

Catalyzed enamel will be pretty hard when compared to lacquer. Assuming it is not original paint and I wanted to level it... I would use some 3000 trizac WET on a 6" orbital unless I were sure there was enough paint for me to hardblock it with 2000, then finish with 3000 and cut polish. You can remove some orange peel using a wool bonnet, however be aware a wool bonnet cuts pretty FAST. First - Run some inexpensive masking tape along the ridges on the body lines and along the panel edges, tape off around the emblems and trim to save time cleaning afterwards. On older paint after I get the paint hydrated and gloss back with SHOW CAR GLAZE I go around and mark surface imperfections with a piece of tape... then I go back with the least aggressive polish first (in meguires the order from least aggressive is machine glaze, swirl remover, fine cut, medium cut and then rough cut) and shoot for a 30-50% improvement when focusing on the single particular issue. - if the least aggressive will not remove it I work to the next. When you step back the overall improvement appears much better than 50%. Picking out imperfections from 12" away when you are searching is pretty easy... improve them by 50% walk away for a day or two when you come back you will be amazed. When I sent photos to the Previous owner of my LT1 they asked if I painted it...
