Re: 60 year old single stage -planning
That Comet technique sounds very interesting and I would like to hear more about it. Do you mix Comet in a bucket of water and do a rinseless type wash? How does the Comet get rinsed off of the paint. A customer of mine (I sell him gearmotors) has two 1964 Chrysler Imperials with original paint. One is black and one is red. He told me that a guy up the street can buff out the paint and bring the shine back. The paint is heavily oxidized and it just didn't sound right to me. I mentioned Meguiars No. 7 glaze to restore the oils to the paint. I want to give him good advice so that he will buy more gearmotors.

Did the hood and fenders with comet tonight and the stains in the hood aren't budging. The first is after scrubbing and the second is before.

Re: 60 year old single stage -planning
Great save!
Mike. How is it to use different degreasers and iron remover on old single stage paint?
Is there any tar degreaser based on a chemical that is single stage paint safe?
Often there is old tree sap and oils embedded in those paints. And would be nice to have a tar remover that does solves the tree sap and oils a little before starting to polishing it. I think also that a cleaner wax/AIO has chemicals that is based on petroleum solvent that is in some tar removers. And think that HD Speed has some in it. If those is not safe in a tar remover. Is the HD Speed safe on single stage paint then? Or is even a non abrasive paint cleaner an option to start with? Followed by claying and then polishing. Or do you have an other option than the Comet trick to do. To get as much of the old dirt and contaminants off before you clay and polish.
The iron removers are they safe on single stage paint? For an example Carpro IronX.
Sorry for hijack your thread a little. But think it would be great to get a paint you have worked on here a little more cleaner. Since the compound and polish did not cleaned it up on the hood. Maybe the paint is stained so bad that you can't save it.
