Now that I've decided to sell our GMC, I won't be painting it as planned and need to freshen the existing paint. Unfortunately the PO painted the
lower half with a less durable paint and it's quite dull. Back in the sixties you could get your car sprayed with what was called a spray glaze that
brightened the finish considerably but I doubt such a product still exists. I do find some DIY products that call themselves a 'spray glaze' like
this one...

But I doubt they're much more than a spray on wax. This product is probably a better choice...

I've always been a fan of Meguiar's products and am considering this one...

Any thoughts?

Sounds like what you are after is a product like Zep acrylic floor finish. A great used car dealer way to get it out the door shining, but maybe not
so good for the new owner in a year or two.

Whoever buys it will get the full story, nothing held back but to be sellable, it has to be presentable.

The Klasse product may require their cleaner before application to get the best result.

I would try washing with Dawn dish liquid first, then a test with Mequiars cleaner wax and top that with paste wax for longevity.

I would also stay away from power buffers since the paint is an overspray.

This is the basic cleaner wax I have had good results with.

Back in the 70's. Many campers had aluminum siding that had a formed texture to it. To keep it shiney. You could get at the time a crystal clear floor wax from Johnson/Johnson that was called. Future floor wax. Same company. But now under another name. Wash the painted areas well. The best way to apply is to mask off the windows. Put the wax in a spray gun. ( there cheep at HF ) Will look like a fresh paint job. Last sometimes for 2 years. Also can be whipped on. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
