What's up everyone? So a little update with me and the car. My second year of college is very rapidly coming to an end (3 more days! 3 more days!) and the 5th is holding it's own, once again being extremely reliable and dependable. I had a bit of a pinging issue at part throttle, but when I checked the timing, it was reading 25* at IDLE! Waaaay too much. I set that back down to 16*, and she's much happier. I'm also still not leaking oil, which is awesome.
I'll be also working at my local Deere dealer again this summer, so if you have any tractor/mower questions, feel free to hit me up
Anyway, now to my question:
Car show season is upon us, and since I (sadly) have to store the car outside, the paint is starting to show some minor fading on the roof and the trunk lid. The pictures don't really do justice, but they show some spots that are not quite as shiny as others. The paint is completely original, and has been garaged up until 2013.
What do y'all recommend I do to correct this before it gets really bad? Should I compound the areas, and then wax? what about clay-bar? There is some dirt and imperfections in the paint overall, and I don't think it has ever seen clay. Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
