I used to be active years ago but life happens and not much time for hobbies! I have a very tight turn to get into my garage off my driveway. End of a busy day and...
I used some Goof Off Professional to take off the thick layer of paint to reveal some bad scratches:
Yikes. Washed/clayed, etc. Took much longer than I expected so compounding was delayed a few weeks. Used Orange Lake Country foam pads and Menzerna FG400 from AutoGeek. Years ago Menzerna was the new hotness and seemed like still a good product. Ordered a fresh bottle though. A few passes, easy to work with, trivial dusting, great product.
Certainly not perfect but good enough for a daily driver. Still a reasonable ding that I will probably just live with. Tires are dressed with DP tire gel that I had around. Holding up great still a few weeks after I put it on.
