Hello from Denmark
My wifes dad owns about 20 old cars. The newest is from 1973 and the oldest from 1907. Most of them is prewar cars. I have a friend who is a Meguairs salesman here in Denmark and now this "Detailing thing" has grown on me. I told my dad in law I would start from one end of the barn and work my way through all 20 of them.
But what do I need ? It is not that important to get high gloss and perfection. It is much more important to give the paint what it needs....
There is a lot of cars, so it has to be easy.
I will clean the paint with a bucket of water and some Last touch detailer. Maybe some claying. Then some kind of compound to remove the oxidation and finally some protection. I have read that some products contains ingredients that will dry out old single stage paint ? And some products contains oil and other good stuff to please and care the paint.
I have a 310 DA polisher and D300, D301, D302 and M26 yellow wax. Can I use D300 or will it dry out the paint ? Is M26 better for old paint than D301 ?
So to sum it up :
Best compound and best wax for old single stage paint who needs care.
High gloss is not important.
It has to be easy with as few steps as possible. ( so I hope I can skip the polishing step)
My friend from Meguairs Denmark comes a little short when it comes to these old cars, so hope u guys can help me )
