Hello guys. My car was stored with a busted window after it was stolen with this plastic self adhesive stuff in the summer heat of NC, 4 years ago. The car is a project and it's been slow going but I'm ready to get this crap out of my paint.
I've never sanded paint, wet or dry, never used a buffer of any kind. I've waxed cars before. Made my Sentra look decently clean(Gotta do that again soon too, good weather's coming)
Anywho, this is what I'm facing:
The car was painted, then stolen a few months later, it's never even been waxed. From the looks of it from a spot on the hood where the hood bent, it's a cheap one stage paint'. I lifted the hood to rest like it is in the first pic and somehow the edge caught the fender. The paint just flaked off and I could see bare metal. It maybe prepped better on the sided. I'm almost certain it wasn't sanded to metal. The hood isn't original tho.
Sorry the pics suck, I'll get better ones in the upcoming weeks.
Any advice?
