Re: Maintenance on lacquer paint

Back in the early 1980s I went to the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Phoenix. Outside of the huge tent where the auction was underway I saw a guy detailing a Duesenberg Model J dual cowl phaeton using Meguire's. After that I figured if Maguire's was good enough for a Duesenberg, it was good enough for my cars as well and have used it ever since.

That said, however, I recently tried Griot's Garage polish and was quite impressed with how easily it went on and buffed out. I am now tempted to try the polishing clay bar that, according to all I have been reading, gently removes debris and contaminates from the surface while not damaging the paint. My Clipper has a DuPont paint job (not lacquer), but I have had lacquer paint jobs before. Here is the link to a website that describes the clay bar:http://www.autopia-carcare.com/inf-clay.html
