    Ok so you mean: course, medium then low grit cutting compound?
    . Apply course then buff off, medium then buff off low then buff off then a good quality polish and buff off?

    Yup.... Give it a go
    Obviously you start with the least amount of cutting you think you'd need but looks like it needs a bit of work. So start coarse if it comes up all alright you might be able to skip medium

    Or if you just wanted to test it out

    Meguiars ultimate compound followed by ultimate polish. See what it comes up like you might be happy enough not to do any more

    Yo Lucas I filled in a scratch with a clear pen but it needs sanding back.
    I have a hi density foam sanding block, just go slowly with some 1500/2000
    then polish ???

    Hoping the cut and polish is not too harsh?

    Is there anything you can do when it is just old as per the photo to protect it from getting worse? Can it be made to look any better. I can't afford a respray. This isn't every where but obviously worse on the bonnet.

    In the Kitten range There is a cutting compound in a black can (coarse with no wax or polish), No2 in a red can (medium with wax, polish), No1 in a green can (fine with wax, polish).
