  • Very old paint/clear coat

    I had my 37 ford 2 door painted and clear coated about 7 years ago. Due to an extended absence, was unable to get it wet sanded and buffed. It was coated with 2 or 3 coats of clear. I has been stored inside all this time.

    I am worred that I may have a tough time getting the clear cut down. Not sure how to proceed, having never done this before. It has a couple good sized sags in the clear but overall the paint looks good.
    I have read some of the threads on this but getting really confused.

    I am prepared to spend the time it takes to get the job done but need some guidance. Have reviewed the videos and they are very helpful. But with paint this old how do I proceed?

    I will be getting a buffer so which one or ones do I need? Also which products(compounds and pads) and in what sequence will get this job done?
    I am still reading threads and learning much as I go along. Thanks in advance for all your help

    As paint completely dries and hardens this will make removing sanding marks more difficult, so you'll want to finish sand with the highest grit paper available as this will make the buff-out the easiest.
