I bought this truck from a guy who did not drive it much, so it sat in the weather a good time. I was thinking about getting a new paint job for it but I do not know yet. I have these spots on the trucks paint right above the driver side doors. Wondering if anyone could tell me if they knew how to get rid of the spots. I was thinking wet 1000 grit sandpaper would get rid of the top layer and then just wax but wanted to see if you all knew anything else.

Thank you

 

I am not a paint guy, but before you start sanding, try rubbing compound.

 

I would not go to that extreme yet, have you tried a very heavy cutting compound and q 4-6" buffer with a cutting pad, do NOT go at it with sand paper what ever you do.. Cutting polish, then a glaze, then a wax

 

Okay, I will try that. Yeah, I did not want to use the 1000 grit sandpaper because I knew it would start to remove clearcoat. I did try a buffer and wax but I did not use a heavy compound and the spots were not coming out. So hopefully they will come out with the heavy compound or I am just getting a new paint job because it could use it.

Thank you

 

Yup, more than likely they will. Keep us updated! I'd get a heavy compound and a medium, then you can wax it by hand at that point it doesn't matter.
