I'm not quite sure where to post this since it crosses over consumer/professional product lines. I'm trying here, please move if more fitting elsewhere.
I have an older car with single stage paint, except for the main shell which is clearcoated. From what information I gathered, it seems that this model in this color was made this way. Main shell with clear, front fenders, hood & trunk are single stage.
I I noticed that on a front fender, I begin to see through the paint in a few spots. Of course it could be repainted, but I'd like to keep it original.
So now I worry that using any abrasive polish will make it worse. The swirls I have to correct are very minor. This car is driven about 1500 miles a year on fair weather only and is parked in a garage the rest of the time.
The wax I use and wish to keep using is M26. This carnauba really makes the bright red pop, especially after M7 (which I believe doesn't correct/fill anything). What then could I use between clay and wax other than M205/Ultimate Polish which I fear could be too aggressive ?
Thinking back to my early detailing days, I remember using ColorX after claying, which is some kind of all-in-one IIRC. Would it be a good base for M26 ? Or do you have any other suggestions ?
