    28 year old single stage paint

    It seems I am buying a car with 28 year old single stage paint. What do I need to know that may be special with it? I know just regular carwash soap, microfiber wash mit, and microfiber towels, but what about the rest?

    thanks

    Blackfire One Step
    Foam pad
    Orbital Polisher

    One and done.

    Early Miatas all painted with single stage paint - usually comes back real easy.

    Careful - it could be very thin - especially on any edges.

    Well here it is. 1991 BRG number 1331 of 3997. It was nice and clean yesterday when I picked it up, but Colorado being Colorado I drove through rain, and sleet, and snow, and more rain, so the car is a filthy mess.

    You guys in CO will be able to go skiing on 4th of July this year! That Miata should clean up really nicely. Does not look 28 years old
