Restored a 52 Chevy 3100 from the frame up. The body shop painted it with the original color and clear-coated it. What non-abrasive polish/wax would be good to put on it? Thanks. Bob

Depending on the product they used, you may need to leave it alone for a month or longer to cure. I would ask the shop if you need to wait and also ask them if they have any recommendations for that particular product.

My recommendation is not put anything on it. The new modern clears are very UV stable and hold a great shine.
Make sure you keep it as clean as possible, lots of sudsy water when washing with micro fiber cloths for drying. A very good detail spray to finish it up is all you'll ever need.

The minute you start rubbing it, your putting swirls in it. The less you touch it, the better off it will be.
