British Racing Green Miata / Needs polish prior to Sale

I'm selling this vehicle and it needs a liitle help.


The Mazda has 20+ layers of Zaino and has never been machine polished, and only recently garaged. Paint has some straight line scratches from a neighbors cat that I would like to ease the edges on, some minor water spots and probably some oxidation. 2001 model with 86K miles.

About 15 miles on her since claying...been in storage for three months. Paint is smooth and dent free. I've used a PC but not to any great extent. Flexible backing plates (6" & 4") and new foam pads for them are en route.

Optimum polish and compound, AIO, Wolfgang Pre-Wax & WG sealant, UPP, EX-P, Natty's Blue, Collinite #467S and OCW are on hand but I have no experience with any of them except the NB. I have all Zaino products and have used them extensively, manual application and removal only.

Most of my experience has been with new paint...clay it and apply Zaino, keep her under cover. That is the way the Miata started except we couldn't keep the critters away. If you have any product suggestions please chime in. I've studied the polishing techniques and will just have to learn by doing...I'm in no rush and hope to have some fun and maybe even get a good result.

Thanks for reading all this...Kenny

to prep for sale, i would say optimum polish followed by natty's, try the compound on the scratches if you have to. i have never used natty's personally but am buying some soon, it looks insane the wetness from it!! i wouldn't waste time doing layers of z to sell it
