I also bought some Meguiar's Ultimate Compound to try and see if that does anything, but not sure if I can use it on the base coat. Base coat's looking kind of dull. |
IMHO you have two paths.
1.) Get it down to bare metal, and then repaint the panel using spray paints. This will probably result in the best outcome but require the most work.
2.) Try to prep the panel in some way, and then apply a new layer of clear coat on top of it.
IMHO 1000 grit is
too rough. and I'd just run the megs ultimate compound gently, over the white flakey area's to polish away (reduce) any loose clear coat. Any clear coat that remains stuck, I would leave on.
Then I'd do the entire panel with some
KIT scratch out (or any other fine polish) to make it smooth and clean, giving the spray'ed on clear coat something nice to grip onto.
