The paint on the car I just bought has some heavy oxidation and water spots on the hood, roof, and the top of the fenders. Is wetsanding the best way to clean this up or will rubbing compound be sufficient. I was going to use the following:
1) 1000 or 1500 grit?
2) rubbing compound
3) Meguires #2
4) Meguires #7
5) Wax
Is this a good idea or should I skip the wetsanding. I tried rubbing compound on the corner of the cowl and it cleand it up a lot but you could still see a little bit of the water marks.
