    No amount of buffing will save that. Repaint is your only option.

    I agree with all the above: failing CC.

    BUT, why not just try and buff it out. If is does, all the better (for the moment). If it doesn't buff, you can use it for future reference as when it can or can't buff out. In other words, play with it and see what happens.

    I agree with Bill, since a repainting seems to be in order anyway, why not play with it and work on technique and new products. You can't ruin it anymore than it already is!

    whats the most aggressive products I can use with the foam pad and a rotary buffer. I have the ultimate compound and polish what is another product I can use.

    If you can get a cheap wood pad you can sand with 2000 grit and then compund it with ultimate compound

    M-105.

    But, you already have Ult Compound-which is a kissin' cousin to 105 (or should that be, they share the same DNA?). Granted UC isn't really intended for rotary use, sure no harm in trying.
