I know this "first timer" question has been beat to death, but it seems that every case is a little different. I'm basically trying to figure out the best pad/polish combination to go with before I place my PC and pad order.
The "victim" is a new to me, 1986 Nissan 300ZX. The car has been garaged its entire life, but has been subjected to traditional car washes on other crimes that have introduced some pretty typical swirls and scratches. I understand the concept of using the least aggressive products first, but I need a little help in what pad/polish combo I should start with and what combo would be the next step if I need to get more aggressive. One particular area of concern is the rear spoiler, which is cloudy from oxidized paint. Obviously, I'll need to be more aggressive in that area.
Anyone care to offer an opinion on whether this paint is considered hard or soft? I'm also assuming that a 1986 Nissan has BC/CC paint vice single stage, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for the help!
