    Well this is just as time consuming as those who have already done this have said. I'm posting my latest progress. My patience with this was wearing thin so I had to put it aside for awhile. Anyway working an hr here and hr there on this I've managed to rack up 5 hrs sanding with just the 230 grit taking out scratches and gouges and still do not have the first half of the fender complete. (almost back even with trunk area) I needed some instant gratification and to make sure this would be worth it in the end, so I spent another hr going through 400, 600,1000,1500, and finally 2000. I started to hand buff these areas another hr and my hand and arm were spent. Borrowed an air buffer from a guy at work this week and below is the results so far with another 40 min buffing with air. Starting to look decent but up close there are still a lot of dull areas that I'm hoping will buff out eventually. Guess I'll keep going because its looking alot better, but this will be a long slow project working on it 1 - 1 1/2 at a time 2 -3 times a week.
