Color sanding to remove swirls and imperfections

Hey guys, my truck is 9 years old, and I'm looking for a way to get the paint in as good of condition as I can. The paint right now is in pretty good shape, I just have a swirl problem because it was taken through automatic carwashes almost it's entire life. I have a PC and DACP didn't touch my swirls.



I was going to try some 3M PIII but I was watching a show about color sanding and that seems like a good way to sort of "start over" with a clean slate. Why question is, if I color sand my whole truck, will it remove the moderate swirls that I have? I figured it would remove some slight clear coat scratches that I have as well. My plan is to color sand, followed up with DACP, AIO, SG, and NXT.



Any thoughts on this? Good idea or bad?
 
Probably a very bad idea! You may have some *areas* that need wetsanding, but doing the entire car? I don't think so. Some heavy compounding, maybe.



I'd be more than happy to look at your paint and offer some first hand advice and suggestions. PM me if you want to stop by my shop in Zionsville/Carmel.
