Hello Autopia! This is a great site. I`ve been reading the primers and thought I`d seek confirmation/recommendations on my intended course of action.
I have a 1986 porsche with non-clear coat Guards Red paint.
About a year ago, I had it detailed at a body shop (by machine), to fix oxidization and road grime from a cross-country uncovered transport in the summer.
The body shop guy said the paint is starting to "die" whatever that means, but was able to buff it to a great shine. Now, a year later, parts of the car (hood in particular) are starting to get a bit cloudy/oxidized. I have been trying to clear it up with zymol, but it really just make it cloudy but shiny.
So, based on info from this site, I tried Klasse AIO on a little patch, and it seems to work great. (Some red came up on the towel, so I imagine the oxidization is being removed). So, my plan was to clay bar it first, then go over the whole car with AIO and then top it with a carnuba wax. (Pinnacle couvran if I can find it.) Sound good? I am not ready to try a machine on this car, so it`ll all be by hand.
