My '73 TR-6 is mostly original paint with a few areas of repaint for damage
repair,  some of which date to before I acquired the car in 1979.    It has
seen a lot of polishing over the years to the extent that some upper narrow
radius edges are starting to show primer.  I'm seeing lots of new ceramic
this and diamond that "waxes"  talked about and have been wondering if they
are effective and/or desirable to use on vintage paint.  So, who is using
what to keep their cars shiny?  What do you wash with first?  Using
traditional waxes or new stuff?   Problems?  Holding up to rain is not an
issue for me.  I try not to take the car out in wet weather.

 

Thanks,

 

Ron L
