What to use

[Pardner]

Howdy

I have a recently purchased 1954 Belair convertible. There are so many products out there, that I don't know where to start. Basicly, my car has a show finish, 5 coats of Dupont Acrylic Basecoat, topped with 3 coats of Dupont Cromaclear. What is the best wax finish, for the car, as well as polish for the stainless and crome
Thanks

Re: What to use

The NXT Metal polish or Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum polish would be great for both. There is also the Hot Rims Chrome Polish specifically for chrome.

Here are some links for the paint care, that explain the full process. Understanding them will get you in good shape for that:

Feel free to ask away after reading, esp since there are a few new products. But the basics remain the same.

Re: What to use

Go for the Hot rims chrome polish awesome product, and same with Hot Rims Mag and Aluminum polish. Both those are top notch products. It made my chrome on my Bird like a crystal clear mirror.
