I`d suggest asking the owner how the vehicle arrived. If it was shipped on a train you`ll definitely want to do a chemical decontamination as well. If it was shipping on a semi I`d still recommend it.
As far as an finishing polish and white pad - I`m pretty confident that wouldn`t even touch any die back issues if they existed.
I`ve never worked on the green shades but I have worked on plum hellcats three times (polishing once) and I found that specific paint to be awfully soft. I did a full correction and coating on a plum shaker rt in the past and that paint was a little harder than the hellcat which was a year or two newer.
Just be happy neither one is pitch black
that`s one of the more finicky paints I`ve worked on.
In the past I had great success with 3D Adapt but I have since switched over to The Last Cut or Master Compound and a polish angel finishing polish (or primer in my case since I use cosmic).
If you have the full rupes system I`d say rupes yellow/yellow to start with. Or even the green rupes polish on yellow pad.
That plum may surprise you under proper lighting with it`s condition.
