Default polishing old paint

ok, so my 1980 is coming home this week. prolly has'nt seen a wash in 5 or 6 years, but has been stored indoors. what would you suggest for a polish to bring back the lustre? it's prolly 10 yr old paint or more.

I have most of the original paint on my 1970 Camaro. The first thing I would suggest (after washing it of course) is getting a Mothers clay kit. This will suck all the dirt out of the paint and leaves it smooth.

Once all the dirt is removed, I use Liquid Glass on my Camaro. Its not a wax, its a polymer. And its kept my ride looking good for 38 years.

One word of WARNING, make SURE all the dirt is off the car before you use the liquid glass!!

It will clean some stuff off, but if any is left, it will be embedded in the finish.
