No luck on you getting my Souveran, as that was meant for the red HHR SS from the start!

Yeah, I miss the Lotus some, but the Spyder keeps me very satisfied.

Most newer cars have clear coat over the color. If you are working on older cars (<70's, some 80's and maybe some 90's), I sort of remember whites, reds and blacks tended to be the last to move from single stage paints.


I have not worked on some of the exotics that may still have single stage paints.

I have a Toyota Tundra 08 and Toyota Sienna 00 both in color 040 SuperWhite. Both are single stage paint.
 
+1 for Collinite 845. For a little more of a wet shine look you can top it with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Spray Wax.
 
My 06 Silverado is white. I used Mothers Gold. When I got my sample of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Spray Wax I applied too see what it does. Love the shine. Thanks too AGO with their free samples.
 
I just cleaned the wife's car this weekend and clayed it for the first time. I used Meg's Deep Crystal Polish and then the Wax over it. Turned out very nice. Hers is a pearl white. I've used it on my black Frontier and have been happy with it.
 
Was thinking of going nuts on my wife's car this weekend. Paint has oxidized and is in not too bad shape for a twelve year old car with regular washes and waxes but gets beat by the Florida sun on a too regular basis.

I was going to do Mike's technique for removing oxidation from single stage paints with Meguire's 07. Followed by meguires 80, duragloss 501/601 combo then 105/601 combo. Finally finish it off with some C845. All of this is after a wash and clay Is this overkill or a great way to bring back a mediocre kept car and leave it with a nice white shine?
