i dont think so.. that paints beyond buffin it out id say.. it looks like the roof is completely gona and the rest of the body doesnt look like much clear coat is left.. but clean it up nice and buff it up and wax it and see what happens.

Yeah im hoping. I dont really want to paint it cause then its an old car with nice paint and no other nice part about it. But does anyone have recomendations for wax, polish, or any other products?

WELL THE PAINT LOOKS KILLED FROM THE SUN AND LACK OF CARE IN THE PAST.
MY FRIEND IT NEEDS REPAINTED,
BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO REPAINT IT SOON THEN DO NOT PUT ANY WAX ON THE CAR,
IF YOU DO THEN YOU MIGHT END UP WITH A LOT OF PROBLEMS WHEN REPAINTING HAPPENDS.
WAX WILL GET INTO CRACKS AND CREVICES THAT YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE,
SOME TIMES WAX AND GREAS REMOVER WILL NOT TAKE OFF ALL THE WAX, WHEN YOU GET READY TO SPRAY THE BASE COAT IT SOMETIMES WILL FISH EYE FROM THE WAX THAT WAS APLIED TO PAINT THAT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH CLEARCOAT LEFT,"LIKE YOURE CAR".
THEN YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE MORE YOU SPRAY ON THE WORSE IT WILL LOOK.

agreed that the car has suffered years of neglect. that paint is really gone. you might be able to pull out some contaminants with clay and then try a 2 or 3 step system. you will never get a 'great' finish, but it might improve enough tomake you feel better about your car
