    Have you picked up any products so far, or starting fresh?

    I havent worked on it, so it would just be general advice from me. But claying, a mild cleaner/polish like Ultimate Polish and a wax of your choice wont hurt anything. I dont know if you had to fix defects.

    Do you have swirls, etc that need fixed up with the UC (Ult. Compound).

    If not, the Ult. Polish would handle mild cleaning and the polishing oils.

    You can use any of our products on this paint, but it tends to be very scratch sensitive paint and can be sort of a pain to work on. Using high quality applicators and towels is every bit as important as which liquids you select, and you should start fairly easy if working by hand as it's very easy to create pressure points with your fingers that will mar the surface.

    try a very small 2X2 area anywhere on the car and if it looks good do the rest. Detailing is mostly a trial and error processes. Don't be afraid, just use the microfiber pad softly and if that doesn't work, try again a little bit harder. Keep trying it to help you see how hard you will have to press before you get some results. Keep your fingers flat as possible and close to each other so you don't leave marrs on the car.

    What condition is the paint in now? As noted above, if there are no scratches/swirls, you may not need it anyway.
