Here's the car I want to clean up!
What is the best way of bringing it back to as nice as possible? Steps, products, etc.
With advice I will document the whole process.
Eric and Jeremys advice would be awesome!

yep you need to bring it back to its former glory like when Mano had it. I think he just buffed it.

Hoping for a nicer result, and longer lasting shine. Anyone suggest products? I've always used Meguiers. Should I clay bar the car first? Etc. |

That would be cool if you documented the process. I love me some good patina and if I ever get a nice one, I would hate to mess it up. |

Clay bar   You just need to buff it out with the three step process Kostya just did on the 58. You can get everything you need at Harbor freight. Once you have it all buffed out, use a good wax to protect the paint.
