Thanks again everyone.

I did a bit of work on it today with the PC just to get an idea of what I was working with. Surprisingly, claying removed virtually nothing.The passenger front fender polished up fairly nicely, but the hood not so much.

I tried OC/OP as well as SIP/106. After doing a first pass with SIP I realized I was dealing with ss paint...I had no idea. I was a little concerned the SIP may be too aggressive, but the results were very good, especially for one pass with the PC. The OC worked well too.

It was tough to get full sun shots as the sun was going in and out of clouds

Here's the fender before...

And after...

Here's what I'm dealing with on the hood...

This is after a pass of OC/OP. It's improved, but I think I may switch to the rotary with foamed wool to quicken up the process and likely get a better finish. I may continue working on it throughout the week, or just wait until Saturday to do the entire car. When done I'll post in click & brag.
