Alpineweiß faded hood :(

Can this buff back to normal? Or does it need to be painted?

Closer look

It still has spots of reflectiveness if you can see

I'd start by murdering a couple clay bars on it to get the paint clean, then move on to a rotary buffer with a heavy cut and see how that looks.... move on from there as appropriate.

That looks pretty damn awful though. You'll make it look better but never really good....

It looks like the fender has already been buffed clean through.

I want to say the PO switched hoods between me the day i looked at it and the day i bought it.. For whatever reason looking back. And thanks i'll try the claybar , i can hardly look at the front its so god-awful

That's really shitty. If it's single stage Alpine White I it should be able to be brought back. If it's Alpine White II, it's clear coated and you might be SOL.

try some compound on a section by hand and see how it comes out

clay bar and use meguiars ultimate compound. Worked perfect on my faded car. See my build. You will know what I mean.

When did alpine 2 start?

Already tried, it works very minimally thats when i took the pic of some of the reflectiveness. I'll get a buffer with low-cut compound and clay it before

I think alpine two is clearcoated which i wanted to say was always available but just cost extra. Though i could be wrong
