Could use some advice with this paint. I have a 1970 Plymouth that was repainted with U-Tech base coat/clear coat (Black). The paint is 11 years old but gets almost no exposure to elements other than the sun, as it's primary function is a show car.
It has what I would consider the softest paint I've ever seen. I can't wipe a quality microfiber towel across it without putting scratches in it. In the past I've used a rotary buffer with 3M white and black foam pads and 3M swirl remover followed by 3M final glaze, then paste wax. It doesn't last long and I'm back to scratches in no time.
I will take any advice on how/what to use to help remove the scratches/swirls and keep them off longer.
I have at my disposal: Rotary buffer, 3M wht/blk foam pads, Rupes BF 21 with all pads and compounds/polishes, Rupes mini with the same as above, HF DA with 6" LC orange/yellow/blue/wht and gold pads, Wolfgang compound, swirl remover, polishing glaze, sealant, all in one, 3D HD speed, and 3M swirl remover, final glaze.
Tried several test spots yesterday and non of them looked good (to me). This is my personal car and I'll spend 24 hours a day on it to get it perfect if I have to.
Thanks for any help
