I have read in another recent thread a recommendation to use a certain type of buffing/cleaning/sanding pad. Don't know where I saw it but it was posted to address your issue.

I used #0000 steel wool, and stroked it the same direction. The steel wool will blend the sheen OK, but certainly does not return to original.

I had that same thing happen to me. It comes off in the compounding phase of polishing. I wish someone had told me that when I was stripping the clearcoat. I wasted hours trying to get off the residue clear coat. It comes off super easy with the compounding Polisher.

If you want to know how to polish go to YouTube and type in: “Polishing (part 3) Grade F9”. It’s produced by Hofmann Architecture. There are two other videos after that that show all three polishing steps. This is how I learned how to polish. My wife and I pretty much finished the first step on our 1970 Caravel.
Hope this helps.

Comparing CitriStrip and Ready Strip Advanced

Now that you can no longer buy the "aircraft" paint remover, CitriStrip and Ready Strip were the best options I could find. I made a comparison video to see which one would work best to remove the clear coat from an airstream.
