Default Re: Paint on fender wells and firewall

If it is only the front inner fenders which are irritating you here is something which I have used to remedy gloss problems in the past.
Fine polishing compound on a rag, and work by hand, sometimes this will knock enough gloss off, I have gone down as far as medium grit compound then come back to the fine to achieve the gloss level I wanted.
On the "visible part" of the inner fenders to get a decent result you would have to remove the battery, the heater hose retainer, the wiring straps and what ever else would interfere with your ability to access and hand rub-out all visible areas on both sides.
This is not going to be a small job, however it would save the dis-assembly, painting, and re-assembly.
