New member... Hello All

Posted by Chris On 2010/10/7 18:31:59

Hello all, I'm brand new to this forum. I just received the 39 110 pictured below in original condition, 22,000 miles on it. It runs very well, but there are a few things that need done, so I will undoubtedly be needing some good advice.
The car is not actually mine. It was purchased by my father in law, but I agreed to get it up to running condition for him. I love to work on old cars and have a fair amount of experience, but none with Packards or even cars of this vintage.
The first thing I would appreciate some advice about is the paint. It's in great shape, but is dirty and needs a good buffing up. I'm reluctant to do anything with a buffing wheel, not knowing how well the paint is going to hold up. I thought I might start with a simple wash, clay bar treatment, polish, and wax. I'd use Meguiar's M205 to polish, Zymol wax. Is this safe for 1939 paint?

Thanks for your help!
