Paint correction on original paint, 1966

[flyingchump]

M20E 1966.  

Has anyone here performed paint correction and gotten amazing results from buffing, polishing, coating your planes.  The original paint from 66 is actually pretty decent which is why i'm wondering if I can polish it up to maybe 8/10. 

What have you all done?  What products have you used? What has and has not worked?    If anyone has before and after pictures, I'd love to see and hear about it.

And putting quotes around "paint correction" in the search feature will only give you the combination of those two words in that order.

Note, that paint is likely very soft, thin, and reactive.  So, start off with a very light abrasive polish with a finish pad, go light on how much you polish in one area and see what you get.  Harsh alcohols or even mineral spirits are likely to react with the paint. I'd stay away from those in the process.  You could buy a paint depth meter to be really sure how thick the paint is before starting.  Maybe worth the $200, maybe not.  Remember, polishing is just removing a thin layer of paint.
