    ok, then I`ll assume you have polished over the years ... did you ever see color come off while polishing or only dirt?

    I`ve never seen color come off.

    then let`s assume that it has an early version of clear coat or might even have Imron which was popular about 30 years ago.

    Lacquer and Enamels would definitely give back some color as they oxidize .. Synthetics might, depending on the quality.

    You can use the Natty`s Red if you want higher gloss and I`d definitely use the Black Hole if you want to see more depth, but you do lose a little metal flake. Without the color transfer during polishing I`d doubt that your paint is porous.

    Well, I`ve already ordered the White Diamond and the Original white wax. Suppose to be here next week. Look forwarding to geeking out on it.

    If I use the White Diamond with an orbital and a finishing pad, will it cut through the Opti-Seal layer or just lay down on top?

    I`d do it by hand.

    As Ron said .. do it by hand .. using a machine will cause friction and might remove some or all of the previous products .. The White Diamond and Natty`s White will look great on your paint
