Yeah, it was a bit involved. This is what it looked like when I bought it:
This is what it looked like after the wool wheel and compound:
Most stop there, but I didn't like how shiny it was. This is after the steel wool. It's still bright and looks clean, it just doesn't have a mirror reflection of everything:
In regards to using steel wool, I agree brass wool would probably be better. However, I didn't grind the wool into the paint. It was a very light buffing by hand. The truck does not sparkle from embedded steel filaments and it has been soaked several times and does not flash rust. I'm not saying there isn't any steel stuck in the paint, but it's nothing to fret about either.
