RE: [A/S] Aluminum
I agree with you about everything but the "re-clear coat". All the experts
I have talked with in the VAC list say that once the clear coat is gone
your preservation is confined to polishing/waxing.
The problem with "re-clear coat" is that a lot of unseen oxidation is
buried under your new application. This will blister sooner than you would
like leaving you to clean up the whole clear coat mess a second time.
Best to strip, clean with a fairly aggressive polishing compound and finish
with a fine compound like AP-300. You'll need a very good polisher for this.
