I'll be picking up my first "fun" car this weekend, a 1967 Volvo 122s. 80k miles, original owners, pretty much all original (including the paint). It's spent a lot of it's life in a garage, but is still in need of some help as I don't think the owners cared for it as much as they got older.
From what I've been able to learn on the forum, this is almost positively a single stage paint due to the age.
At this point, I'll probably be working only by hand, as investing in power detailing equipment is out of my budget right now.
What should be my plan of attack? Obviously a good wash (non-detergent, I've been reading) is the first order of business, but what about after that?
I found a thread with a pretty dramatic transformation of a similar era red Mercedes, but with little information about the process used.
