Has anyone ever tried a full paint correction on one of these cars (with original paint on it still) with an orbital polisher?
I have some experience with my PC 7424 and doing a couple older GMs with decent success, so I thought I'd have a go at my 93. It's got original paint but badly in need of cutting/polishing, so I got started tonight and immediately I can tell this car is going to be a whole different animal from the others I've done. I'm using Meguiar's M105 and orange pad, which for those who don't know is a pretty standard combo for machine polishing.
Here's where I'm at so far. I'm just working a part of the hood first to see what I'm up against on the rest of the car.

After two passes:
You can see it's a LOT better but I'm not happy with it.. I thought maybe I'd try the more aggressive yellow pad and see where that gets me. Anyone out there familiar with the process and maybe had better success on these old Ford OEM paint jobs?
