I want to keep the original paint on my firetruck and try to shine it up as well as possible. From what ive found online I am thinking my process will be: good wash with a soft sponge, clay bar, Maguire #7, and then ceramic wax. I am a little nervous about the clay with all the checking in the paint. Any ideas or just (carefully) go for it? Also I believe the gold is real leaf with some kind of black shadow. Any ideas on cleaning either of those?
