What can I do to bring this back to original? I didn`t want to use any polishes I use for paint cause I didn`t know how gentle these pieces are. Can it be brought back? Anyone have advice?

Thanks.

Why not try it by hand then instead of machine first...

Yeah but what to use? Could I use Optimum polish by hand to clean that up?

You could try by hand Jay, but I personally wouldn`t waste my time. You`re probably going to need to hit that hard. And that`s saying it`s completely repairable.

that is a lot harder then your paint and will require

more effort

I was thinking about it but I didn`t know if it marred easy and I would make it worse or not. Its on an 88 Mondial

Yikes, I would just explain to the owner the risk he or she runs if you try and hit that area with a machine/polish. Working by hand as VA said probably won`t yield much in terms of results unless the paint is super soft.

If it`s black, it might be easier to get a can of Duplicolor black spray paint and respray it, followed by a clear. I did this on a black F250 and it came out mint! :think2

That`s the first thing I was thinking, didn`t know if he was comfortable going that route or not. If it were mine and the same make/model, I wouldn`t hesitate if a machine produced little results.

No no, its either chrome or Aluminum. And I`m not getting anywhere near a Ferrari with spray paint. LOL.

Looks like painted jambs to me, and no I wouldn`t recommend spray painting a Ferrari.

It looks black to me.



Try a Mothers powerball and start with the least aggressive product, then work up the abrasive scale until you get the results you want.
