Title: What pads and compounds do i need?
Post by: maxp on 28 June 2009, 22:05

Hi all,

Have a mk2 oak green that is covered in stone chips, scratches down to primer, 1 or 2 places down to the metal (just about) and also a few rust bubbles.

I have an orbital sander and was planning on using that.

Could anyone advise what compounds, pads and anything else i might need to sort this job out myself.

Have a look over at detailingworld and couldnt find anything definitive.

polishing alone will not resolve this problem... you would need paint in some way shape or form to resolve these problems
