I have a 2006 Tundra that has been outside it's whole life. I wish I had taken better care of it but it is what it is. What I would like to know is how to proceed.

I have a Porter Cable 7424XP that I plan to use on my other vehicles.

I have seen videos of work on "extremely oxidized" vehicles but nothing near this bad. They all start with a clay bar. I am thinking that this job will need much more than that.

I have an old Rockwell 7 inch disk sander model 4770, I hate to see what kind of damage I would do with this and a wool pad.

Wet sanding? If so where to start and what to watch out for.

Thanks in advance.

The Rockwell sander has a wire brush in the picture, I DO NOT intend to use a wire brush on my truck!

Looks like clear coat failure you may have to start with that wire brush.
 
The only place to start is it a autobody shop to get an estimate. That or plastidip. The damage is not something that can be polished away.
 
I don't know how old that thing is. I can't remember how I got it, I've had it for at least 20 years though.

Thanks for the responses guys, off to the body shop I guess.
