I'm taking delivery of my 1977 Mercury Monarch tomorrow.
I want to try buffing it out before I paint it. The paint I'm using goes on over existing paint, but the finish depends on the paint below it. It's John Deere "Blitz Black" satin paint. It doesn't require a primer. It's more for durability, and mainly to keep that hot rod, satin black look.
It has original paint, and has been outside its entire life.
It's safe to assume it hasn't been waxed since the 1990's.
Surprisingly, the rust is minimal.
However, the paint is hardcore oxidized. It looks like it has oxidation on top of oxidation.
If I use Meguiar's M85, with a W4000, and the Makita at 2000, will it be enough to get rid of all of it?
I'm trying to avoid the wet-sanding. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just smoothed out quite a bit, to make the next paint look marginally better.
I also have some Meguiar's Velocity MV80 and MV81, from my yacht detailing... those are pretty burly though.
