i just got an old 86 gmc jimmy running again. i want to clean it up but when i wash it, the paint comes off on all my towels. there is no clear coat. there is a sticker on the window saying that it has been ming coated and that it should not be waxed.

is there any kind of clear coat that i could do at home? i dont really care about this car so i dont want to put much money into it. but i would like it to look decent.

 

Wax it with a one step cleaner wax designed for single stage paint. After more than 20 years, there isn't any ming left.

 

Profection is an excellent paint sealant and will work well for your needs.

 

"PRO P-73-Q PROFECTION ™ PAINT SEALANT : Final finish sealer formulated for all types of pre-cleaned finishes. Utilizes less cleaner than Polymer II ™ and an ar****ectural acrylic resin that lasts longer. Works fast and easy. Provides 1 year or more of high gloss protection. contains no wax.

Horrible advice. How does paint that is transferring to his towels while he washes qualify as "pre-cleaned"?
