Re: 1965 Cadillac - Original Single Stage Paint - Slam job by Mike Phillips
My back hurts just thinking about correcting that hood.
Good luck, and looking forward to your write up.

I anxiously await. The front end on those 60’s/70’s Caddies are amazing.

oh wow. Excellent results for the amount of time put in.
Your test spot, as I scrolled through the thread several times, reminded me of my own test spot on white paint (and green tape)!
From this thread on the BF Paint Cleaner Review: BLACKFIRE Paint Cleaner
Here's my test spot:

Also - I shared this trick in post #2 here,

The Comet will more-or-less gently remove the majority of the oxidation and get you down to a fresh base.
Also wash all the glass, chrome and stainless steel with the Comet and remove years of road film, oxidation, tarnish and even light rust.
You could also use Bon-Ami but I would go with Comet, it's a tick more aggressive and this isn't saying much.
