Re: Best compound for original paint?

Sometimes a light sanding with 2500 or 3000 grit is best . Most modern compound is made for new paints and not aggressive enough . I used a rotory with a lambswool pad on my 68 but I did sand it with 1000 up 3000 paper . Lambswool is much more aggressive than a foam pad . Did you use a cutting pad? rotory buffer or an orbital buffer ? Makes a huge difference with type of buffer and pad choice. After the lambswool I went with a polish bad on the rotory then finished with an orbital buffer. No clear used in the truck just lots of wax after I got it shined up
