1976 porsche 914 hazing

I inherited my Dad's '76 Porsche following his passing in Y2K. The car was repainted in the mid 90s with an original Porsche paint (red). I'm sure this is single stage paint. There is a minimal amount of swirl, but on the hood and trunk there is quite a bit of hazing, almost cloudy or milky appearance to sections of the paint, particularly when you look at these sections from an angle. These sections still retain what appears to be the same level of gloss as the rest of the vehicle. In addition, it looks like some windshield wiper fluid run-off from one of the nozzles sat on the paint for awhile and dulled the finish in that area (1/2" x 2.5" area).



I've used Klasse AIO by hand application (WOWO method) with the result of what appears to be some minor oxidation coming off into the pad. I'm dying to try my Porter Cable on it, but I'm a bit hesitant to use the PC7424 on it as I'm afraid I'll cause a lot more rub off of the existing paint.



I'm a newbie to amatuer detailing on my own. To date, I have just clay barred my daily driver (96 Aurora) and followed-up with PS21 Paintworks Cleanser with the Wolfgang white pad topped with Blitz Wax.



I enjoy reading and researching the threads here, it's quite an educational experience, and I've found somewhat addicting. I've read on some threads where "german" paint has different characteristics and treatment methods, so I am hoping for some help here. . .



Any suggestions from the pros on this one? Thanks in advance!! Any comments will be much appreciated!!
 
if it was repainted with the original paint it is single stage

and all of your pads will soon be red this in normal



if swirles are not bad try the AIO again as it is a good chemical cleaner

and yes the pads will be red



I love a well prepped red SS car with RMG, EXP & Natty blue
 
Yes, the Meguiars line works really well with single stage paints due to the oils in the products. I would get #80 and use that with your PC then maybe #7 show car glaze if you want to add a glaze then either use #21 sealant or a carnuba for a topper-this has worked well for me.
 
I am now ready to tackle this project to get the car on the road for summer. . .any suggestions from the professionals out there would be appreciated. Thank you kindly!
