Welcome to the Forum, 4run ---
So, its a 1991 - what - truck ?
Last I checked, Dupli-color is acrylic lacquer, is that what you put on your fenders?
Big question -- How good do they look right now?? Really clear and glossy? Kind of clear and glossy?
Big question-2 Are you ok with the way the fenders look now??
Reason I ask is all those Meguiars compound and polish products you listed are great, but they are normally used with a machine, and perhaps, wool/wool/blend pads, or microfiber pads, and then, foam pads to finish polishing..
I have never tried to compound a big area without using a machine,(Rotary) but I suppose it can be done.. Correcting the paint by hand may be difficult to get it to come out all the same smoothness, etc., even on acrylic lacquer, which is a great paint that is usually on the medium soft to hard side..
Whatever you decide to do, please wait until the paint layers you have on your fenders are dry and cured..If you can still smell the paint, it is not cured.. It dries and cures from the bottom layer to the top.. You have 9 layers of product on there, correct ?
I have lots of years experience using Meguiars 105 and 205.. They both work great - with a machine -..
The Ultimate line is good but will not perform as well as the 105 and 205 products and are more directed to the casual user, etc...
The Meguiars Mirror Glaze # 2 (
https://www.autopia-carcare.com/megu...l#.YQIRS72pH3g) is some kind of a polish, and it might work to some extent.. I have never used it..
I have years of experience with the Meguiars 205 product and it can absolutely make paintwork look like a perfectly clear, flat, mirror when used with a machine by an experienced person..
Same with the Meguiars 105 compound.. Works really fast and well, just have to not let it dry up, and then, finishes down really nicely; again with a machine and an experienced person working that Rotary..
Yes, there are lots of products besides these 2 (that were the first ones out before any other), except for the 3M line..
I know of no products that correct paintwork that are user hand friendly, because I only use machine power..
What do you think ?
