excellent post by...

mybenz123. May I also suggest buying 3M polishing compound or even the Turtle Wax rubbing compound for your trial run. If the paint can be saved, Wet sanding is the ultimate but also requires some skill to not go through the paint, so rubbing compound will give you quite a bit of cutting power but less than sand paper and may be easier to control. This also of course depends on how milky your finish is, either way you will be able to tell whether there is a chance to save the paint.

Give it your best bring the color back and then take it to a Pro for another going over with a polishing machine, it is amazing how many seemingly lost paint jobs can be revived to like new with patience and a lot of elbow grease.

Good luck
