Trying a variety of compounds and tactics. Lore has it that the Meguiar's #7 has the magic oils in it to put some life back into old paint such as this (acrylic lacquer AFAIK). I have not seen evidence that the sections I've treated look any different, but I'll say the jury's still out. Loremasters have done a lot more restoring than I have.
I discovered that trying to go with the medium speed on the DA polisher because I think it'll be less aggressive is a fool's tactic, because it doesn't float over the paint until you spin it up. Definitely sticking with the "least aggressive method first" theory though.
Started out thinking it's like polishing a turd, but the patina look is starting to grow on me. Maybe an interim step, since Rust Never Sleeps, so painting seems inevitable.
