I have read the polishing thread on here about how to make a our moderns shine.

However, the question I have, and it will have haters and lovers for sure, is how do you revive old dull paint on a vehicle and still retain the rust.
Ideally I do not care for he satin clear coati g either as it would force a future owner or restorer to undo a lot of work.
So maybe waxing is an option.
I am with Optimusprime on the screw polish, but have polished my toys historically as it looks great.
See the thread linked below about a long term stored Porsche 911 that has dead paint etc............

Back onto this old car.
I will link the thread into a new question.
Imagine I just want to clean up, drive and get the WTF looks........
Shiny bits of original paint with the scorched paint from too much of its original life out in the Nevada desert.
So what processes do I follow to retain the patina, but revive the original paint.
These pics as examples.
I know there will be hates and lovers.
That really is not important to me, if I am going to drive the thing then it could be on my terms.
I have looked at all sorts of automotive tomfoolery lately, even panel vans.
Thanks as always for any input.
