While waiting on getting a motor, I decided to test out cleaning up the paint. Worked pretty good on the cowl. There is a lot of this black, rough stuff on the paint with the most being on the hood. I used a waterless wash to clean it. I then used a Meguiar's clay bar kit to remove the surface contaminants. Last step was the Meguiar's Show Car Glaze Number 7, supposed to be good for older single stage paints to help remove oxidation safely and moisturize the paint with the oils in it. Looking pretty good so far and super smooth! Now just need to figure out what wax to put on for future protection. It takes a lot of elbow grease, but I don't know enough about using a buffer to not be scared of destroying the paint. Arm workout it is!
