Following Gorilla's advice I do see multiple posts about paint compounds and polishes. Many of those seem to deal with new paint and trying to get rid of circular scratches. Some however, deal with my type of problem: oxidized paint, no clear coat.

There seem to be a whole array of products out there that deal with paint cleaners and polishers and it's tough for a newbie to sort through which product to get as many seem to be personal favorites of individual Pelicans or Autopians.

Also the nuance of recognizing the stage of oxidation seems to be a problem too - how aggressive should the cleaner/polisher be? On that issue I hear start underaggressive and move up on aggressiveness if one does not achieve the desired outcome.

So I've studied some YouTube and vendor vids on application and technique so I feel reasonably comfortable with that - recognizing it'll be more difficult that I think. So I'm good to ge there.

So an Orbital Sander (Porter Cable, yes, no need to consider a Flex XC 3401 VG HD, right)?

Then, for cleaning and polishing: Presta: Ultra Cutting Creme, Chroma Polish?

Then, I am unsure about what's next after the above. I have asked Presta for their recommendation but have not received it yet. When I do I'll post it.

What do you think about the above? Alternatives? Thanks!
