    Rough Paint

    Looks like this guy washed his truck with a scotch brite pad... Looking for opinions on what may work best.. Whole truck is like this. I told him get a new paint job... He didn't laugh..

    Re: Rough Paint

    You might want to try a test spot and see if she is salvageable. Try Compound and then Polish......I would say wet sand, however, I think you may be correct...get a paint job.

    I would like to see what you decided if at all. But I also think it would be cool if you could save her.....if not at least you tried!!

    I would try FG400 or Wolfgangs Swirl remover or Megs 105. They are heavier compound. I know AGO has a chart that shows the strength of each brand.

    IMO you will need to compound 1st with an Orange Lake Country Pad (at the least or maybe bump up to a yellow pad)

    Either way IMO polish will not fix this...compound may....but still do a test spot before tackling this...I would go with caution....

    I think you mean Wolfgang Uber Compound.

    OP, are you going to order something or try to get something locally? I believe that Pep Boys (and maybe Advance or Auto Zone) carries M105 in the body repair (not detailing) aisle. Or you can get Meg's Ultimate Compound at Wal-Mart. Use one of them on your yellow pad and see what happens.

    Re: Rough Paint

    Try fixer with yellow pad to see if that will do anything. If not, and you want to get something local. I'd suggest getting some M105 to use with the yellow pad. If you want to order, I'd recommend some Megs MF discs and some M100 or M101 to cut wih. HD speed would most likely be enough to polish out after compounding. Only way to find out is to give it shot. Just remember to have that PC cranked up and slooow arm movement. Good luck
