Single stage paint correction help

[brys00gt]

Went to get my 47 Plymouth out from storage. Been sitting for 2 years. I noticed some swirling. I've never dealt with single stage non clear paint. What should I use and how?

Get the dirt off the car first if need, I would recommend compressed air for this step to not touch the car. After that a good wash with a quality soap, 2 bucket method and a few wash pads. After that clay and then polishing just like usual, just expect the paint to transfer to your pads that you are using. I've never personally detailed a single stage paint but from what I've seen it should not take as much correcting as a clear coat finish which makes sense. Here is a thread when I searched on a different forum I'm on:

Hope that helps
