Just following this up as Mike posted on the FB page that it was Single stage. Hence the reason my comment that I was wrong.
Carry on.
I cheated and saw the FB post first before posting here. I think we're so used to seeing dull, faded, oxidized single stage paint on an old car we instantly can call it SS. Surprising that this repaint didn't come with clear coat though.

I remembered reading that in your book, and is the reason I picked up a sample of Pinnacle's Advanced Finishing Polish. I'm testing white paint, so I could use the darker color. Thanks for all the tips, Mike.
Mike is there a reason you didn't use m#7 or did you think the paint already had good color and not enough dead paint left after clean up?
The #7 treatment is for antique single stage paint that is in horrible shape and it's IMPORTANT to the owner of the car do do everything they can to safe the paint.
This paint didn't need the #7 treatment before detailing. It wouldn't hurt to apply the #7 AFTER all the abrading processes were done but before the wax like we did here,
If you look right in the middle of the tray you'll see a bottle of #7
I never was able to process the pictures for this project but after doing all the compounding and polishing steps we apply and worked in an application of the #7 pure polish and then applied the Wolfgang Fuzion Wax.
The process of applying the #7 to antique paint in bad shape is ONLY for people that it's important to do everything they can to safe the original paint. For the rest of the world... I don't really care what they do... compound away if they want. My article is for people that it's IMPORTANT to save the original paint.
