My Father-in-law has a perfect classic fiat 124 spider in Ferrari Dino blue. But I'm worried that the paint may be soft / unstable.
He doesnt detail his cars so i offered to do the job (he was impressed by my meguiars treatment to his VW Toureg) ... The surface appears to be a single stage finish (i.e. no clearcoat) that was quite marred and swirled in areas (overall appearance is good tho), so I tested a patch with scratchx and the applicator was very blue after a minute or two of polishing. I buffed it off and applied NXT with another applicator, more blue. The final finish was deep and shiny but I'm concerned about so much removal of paint.
Is it too soft? What are his options here? Get it clear-coated?
Any ideas or suggestions welcomed.
BTW its kept in a relatively dry hanger, usually under a car cover.
Will attempt to get shots of it. Thanks.
