Plastics Mint
can you restore a mint conditions car paint after its been sitting in a garage?
we have a 1965 rambler marlin (rare) and it has been sitting in our garage for at least twenty years. now the car is in MINT condition, the plastic is still on the seat covers and it only has a couple thousand original miles on it this here is the real deal. now since it has been sitting we have taken back interest in getting the car back in working order. now we have the car running and have to do some mods but now the question is can we restore the color of the paint?
rubbing compound should revive it yes? then buff it up? wash and wax yes? the paint isnt faded by sun or any extremities, its just been sitting and is not as vibrant as it used to be. can we fix it?!?
1: wash car: hopefully you already know that this does
2. clay car -this removes contaminants stuck to the paint, that normal washing wont get off. You can also clay your windows/wheels etc. I suggest Meguiars smooth surface clay kit.
3. Paint cleaners(aka polishes): These remove oxidation/scratches/stains/etc. They have no protection at all. Different strengths for different paints. I suggest starting with Meguiars Swirlx, and if needed, then step up to Meguiars ultimate compound. Apply in a 16x16 in. section with a microfiber applicator. Work it in for about a minute and wipe off immediately with microfiber towel. Inspect results, repeat or move up to a more aggressive product. Switch to a new pad after every couple of panels, since product and paint will build up in the pad, making them less affective.
4. Pure Polish: These help the paint shine by adding oils to the paint. These contain NO ABRASIVES. They do not add protection either. Works best on darker colors and cars with single stage paints. But can still work good on lighter colored cars. Its really optional, since the paint cleaners mentioned above have polishing oils in them. But if you have single stage paint, then definitely use it. Use meguiars deep crystal polish, or their #7 polish. Just kind of message them into the paint, in a 16x16 in. section for about 40 seconds. then wipe off immediately. These can be a real pain to remove.
5: wax: locks in polish, adds protection and shine. Apply using microfiber applicator and spread a thin even layer all over your car, not getting any on plastic/vinyl/pourous surfaces ( itll stain). Let it dry to a haze (usually 15-20 minutes) then wipe off with microfiber towel. Suggest meguiars nxt 2.0 tech wax or their gold class wax
the main problem with single stage paints is oxidation..
but they also tend to be fairly soft
so you should be able to achieve pretty good correction
and pure polish would be HIGHLY recommended in this case
