I'll hit it with a rotary for 40 - 50 quid if you bring it down to me for a day, don't usually offer people but I like your car.

It may well do, would save a huge amount of time if that is the case.

Always test area's before anything is decided anyway.

Depends on how it's been painted to be honest hopcraft,

When I had my car fully re-sprayed it was a complete pig to polish, paint was solid.

well im talking about from fresh out the booth, maybe 2-3 days old lol.

the types of paint do vary, but its so much easier than old paint, and the results are larvley.

and when wet sanding too on fresh paint, its much easier to polish back up to standard that older paint too.
