Paint Restore - black FD in the Desert
Guys,
So I just picked up a 93 Touring in black, and the paint on the fiberglass has seen better days.
What products do you recommend to try and bring the paint back to good shape?
The car looks okay at night, but in the day all the bumper, hood, and headlight covers look like ***.

Simple, best answer: Paint Job.
Your in luck, however, since your car is black, you dont have to worry about the engine bay should you change color.
So choose a cool color, like IBM, CYM, or even Carbon Black (Deep blue/black from BMW), given..even if you have some tan on the interior it'll still match up nice.
It's really your only solution, touch up stuff and even painting specific parts will still look "mismatched".

In the meantime of a new paint job, a nice 3-step process would work:
1. Wash & Claybar
2. Wax
3. Polish
I've known a few guys with black FD's and they got the best results with Zaino on black paint.
