Depending on how bad it is there will be may solutions and loads of different methods. I'd personally try using SRP first but by hand it will be a pig of a job!

You may need to either get a DA on it or a rotary, try the 3m range they are pretty good, start with the Extra Fine and see if this brings it up! be careful though as you dont want to take off to much paint on solid colours.

finish it off with plenty of glaze of your choice or just some 3M finesse

Ive just brought my paint back to red on my cavalier. I used G3, then G10, then poorboys nattys wax. Finish is amazing now and no signs of fading since the wax was put on.

Oh and no way would I even consider doing it by hand, took me about 3 full days to get it to that.

What ever happened to that car cunningham?? Can mind seeing it kicking around Leven a good while back, was looking rough. Havn't seen it since. Shame if its not on the road anymore, was tidy.
