Thanks Mike. I have read both of those articles multiple times. I plan on rubbing both down with #7. On the Torino (red) I will get the paint measured and lightly polish if possible. On the Corvair (blue) I will have to rub it down a few more times. Then I will try to get the paint measured, but...

What would you suggest for a very mild polish?

I won't be losing income as the red one is my dad's. He's had it for 30 years, so I just want to clean it up and make it nice for him. Most of the car that's in better shape, just swirled, is original paint. The back little bit that I showed the picture of has been repainted, but I am not sure...

I was planning on rubbing in and soaking with #7 first. There are no burn marks in the paint. I am just using the Harbor Freight DA with 5" LC pads. I have done 3 full paint corrections before, and detail on the side a bit so I've done a few one-steps too.

I want to remove all oxidation, and would like about 95% correction, or as much as I can safely do. Obviously I want to spend as little as possible, but am willing to spend the money if I need to.

I am going to do a 62 Chevy Corvair and a 68 Ford Torino soon, but since I have never worked on single stage paint, I'm a little unsure of how to proceed. Can I just quick detail with ONR, decontaminate with a nanoskin and ONR, apply Meguiars #07 and let sit, polish with Menzerna sf 3500, and...
