What I mean is, how long will that shine last without eventually rubbing through the paint making the car a candidate for a repaint? Or, is it possible that with continued use of good ol' #7, when needed, that paint can be maintained? I'm leaning in the camp, and this is just a hunch from using #7 over the years, that M07 with it's flooding oils can keep this paint in pristine shape for years to come...in the right hands...or is a good high quality show car wax like the pinnacle sovereign capable of keeping the paint that nice?
I would imagine the shine would last at least another 50 years if it is kept in the garage, and waxed with a non abrasive wax periodically to prevent it from drying out. It took 50 years for the paint to dry out enough to use #7 the first time.

Mike, any more how-to info on the 53 Hornet? There is a 52 Hudson Commodore 8 that I would love to try this process on! All original paint on it as well.

Work has been very busy last month with a lot of behind the scenes projects. The good news is sometime this week I'll have a complete write-up with the
- Before pictures
- Process pictures <--This will include all the steps to restore single stage paint
- After pictures
for the 1955 DeSoto Firedome.
I also have a 1959 Cadillac coming up as well as possibly another very cool car with the original single stage paint.
Hang tight...

That would be great. I think I saw Wanye this past weekend at Greenwich Concours d'Elegance.
