its been painted with 2 pack in a solid colour, then left covered over with blankets for 13 years, so its not swirly but will be dusty and maybe some surface oxidation. I want it as shiny and wet look as possible. best course of treatment guys ??

A good t'cut with wet cloth in straight lines no circles when cutting back it take takes lots of time one panel at a time (not in the sun) then 2 or 3 polishes with a good quality polish a panel at a time and a really good buff. I normally t'cut and polish the same panel before going to the next so you can see the difference between the polished and the unpolished panels and it spurs you on.
Wash, clay, try a medium clay first see what that does, ironX, good polish even a light cutting polish/compound then a good layer of wax, stay well away from Tcut

I don't know who Paul is but, I use R222 wax. Goes on very easy and does a great job. Perhaps buy a dual action polisher. The megs one I have has been upgraded now and is great for going the whole car as polishing and waxing can take all day.
AG super resin polish is always a good bet. Has fillers in so covers small scratches to a point.

What colour is the car? If it's dark AG Ultra Deep Shine will produce a deep shine. Apply using a damp sponge and it doesn't produce too much dust.

I have been using this brand for several years and always had a good result and is very easy to work with!.:-)
As the car is old I'd use light rubbing(by hand), then polish and last but not least the wax.
I use a eccentric grinder with a medium hard foam pad when I polish my car and am pleased
with the result.
Don't know if you have this brand in England though.
There is no substitute for cubic inches!
