My dad and myself are going to do a full detail on his 69' Bronco that gets used off-road and is flat towed behind their motorhome. Its has seen a ton of miles in the dirt. He doesn't purposely trash the paint, but #### happens!

He has very little detailing experience as he has only really polished or waxed by hand; so I'll be showing him the ropes.

I'm pretty confident that I can get the swirls and some of the scratches out. I'm shooting for 90% correction.

We picked up a griots 3" DA and I have a 5" DA that I can reduce down for 4" pads. My issue lies for the areas that are less than 3" in size... and there is a lot.

I don't have any experience in a rotary and I don't own one.

Should we hit these areas by hand or work the 3" pad over it the best we can? Any other suggestions? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170910/68c23676a607581ff7a0f8f6ce73ae38.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170910/ba0900cca6d9f78c172c4b8b4b7f8e08.jpg
