Thanks for you comments Lonnie
Red58, I have not put any compound on the truck. I'll try in a small test area . I was not sure about trying that because there is no clear coat.
Just take your pictures on cloudy or overcast days, it'a a lot easier than changing the paint.
And yes scotch or brillo scouring pads will take some of the shine off.
We are limited on cloudy days in the desert.
What pad is recommended?
Would the red Pad be to aggressive?
Is wet sanding an option?
