Did some more sanding and buffing on the New Years Holiday.
Same process: Wet sand 1000, 1500, 2000 then
Wool rubbing compound, Yellow pad Machine polish, and then Black Machine Polish. Finished it off with a wax.
This time I did the Drivers door and front fender. I'm still amazed at how this works!
Don't get me wrong, it's LABOR, not magic!

I also attempted to straighten out the hood. It had about a 1/2" bend in it right where these things like to bend.
It helped a lot but is not perfect. I simply put a 2x4 under the front of the hood, and a small block at the rear and pushed the bend down. Did it about 4 passes and got most of it out.
