I have a 2006 Tundra that has been outside it's whole life. I wish I had taken better care of it but it is what it is. What I would like to know is how to proceed.

I have a Porter Cable 7424XP that I plan to use on my other vehicles.

I have seen videos of work on "extremely oxidized" vehicles but nothing near this bad. They all start with a clay bar. I am thinking that this job will need much more than that.

I have an old Rockwell 7 inch disk sander model 4770, I hate to see what kind of damage I would do with this and a wool pad.

Wet sanding? If so where to start and what to watch out for.

Thanks in advance.

The Rockwell sander has a wire brush in the picture, I DO NOT intend to use a wire brush on my truck!

Looks like clear coat failure you may have to start with that wire brush.

Looks like CC failure to me as well

The only place to start is it a autobody shop to get an estimate. That or plastidip. The damage is not something that can be polished away.

Clear coat failure. Only fix is to repaint.

I don't know how old that thing is. I can't remember how I got it, I've had it for at least 20 years though.

Thanks for the responses guys, off to the body shop I guess.
