I only clear sprayed the parts of the Merc that had no paint left like these 53 front fenders and hood. That hood actually had lichen growing on it when I got the parts car but a lot of hours of t.l.c. with fine steel wool and diesel fuel brought a pretty good shine out. The rest of the body I just used Turtle Rubbing Compound which shined up the remaining original paint quite well. I wasn't going to put a high dollar paint job on the car and then be afraid to drive it. This is the best compromise for me. Time will tell if it rusts underneath the clear spray or not.
