If its original factory paint it should be a single stage enamel. No
clearcoat. At least mine was. Take a commercial buffer with course grit
compound to it then finish it off with some finer grit finishing liquid.
Then hand rub some polish then wax. Alot of work but should restore
paint to at least semi-new. Or burn it down to the metal. Be careful and
do the entire car. Or take to body shop and let the pros do it.
