I decided to give my 82 a thorough waxing this weekend. It has a clear coat that isn't doing well. Some fading on the hood and alot on the roof and trunk lid. After much elbow grease and trying McGuire's polishing wax in the bottle, same brand but in a can, and some clear coat wax from a bottle totally about 5 coats, the hood is looking pretty darn good. I tried the same on the roof, however, and was getting swirls. I know I can purchase swirl removing waxes and I'll do that for sure. My question is if any of you have any recommendations on waxes to help restore worn finishes. I'm not looking for a miracle, but it already looks much much better with just the work I've done so far. I'm basically just trying to buy time before I repaint the car one of these years.

Frank.
