Exterior Paint TLC

[Jnash]

New to WTW, but learning a lot...

I just got into the FWC game and I currently find myself in a 1997 Grandby. Still in good shape overall but could use some Exterior TLC. Just a little sun faded and the white is looking a little more yellow (especially sitting on a white truck). I'm wondering if anyone has experience buffing the exterior at all. The goal is to enhance the exterior paint without tearing it up...I know the paint is relatively thin.

Looking for any input or if there is another similar thread that has already been started.

I doubt that even new that camper was as bright white as your truck.

It’s the paint color. Colonial White.

Your truck and the Jacks are Arctic White.

No amount of buffing will make it bright white.

The old truck paint colors matched. Old trucks were more off white.

If you try to compound the finish with a power buffer/polisher, you'll find out quickly that the finish is very thin, you will most likely burn through. You could try hand polishing with a very fine compound, then wax.
