Paint on a black 1985 Porsche 911?

[95maxrider]

Hey guys, I've been offered the opportunity to detail a black 1985 Porsche 911, but I need to know some things about the paint on this specific car. Specifically, is the paint a lacquer or an enamel? Is it single stage or does it have a clear coat?

My products include the UDM, Ultima PP+ and PGP, and Menzerna IP if necessary. Will these products work with this paint?

Also, in the front of the car where a bra used to be there are hundreds of tiny paint bubbles. Can I use the UDM on these or do I risk popping them? Should I do it by hand, or not at all?

Thanks for the help!

Nick

I see the products, but I don't know what that means for the paint. Does the Meg's #80 and the Optimum Compound mean it's single stage? Lacquer?

Also, what's the deal with the paint bubbles?

Thanks Scott!

If the car has the original paint, it is most definitely single stage. Meguiars #83/80 should knock out the oxidation, Clearkote's Blue Moose also does a great job on oxidized paint and feels smoother under the rotary than #83.

No idea about the bubbles, got pics?
