So for the first time since the paint was put on I wet sanded the car and now it's back looking good.

I'm the original owner of this 76 Olds, the paint is all original factory lacquer. It seems pretty shiny to me for original paint or even new.

The problem with base/clear systems is once the clear goes it's all over. I remember seeing a 1960 Bonneville in Smoke signals that was oxidized and the owner brought that original paint back to near new. I'm the original owner of a 69 H-0 LeMans and I shot that car for it's only respray in 92. The car has never been waxed and it gets a going over of Imperial Hand Glaze about four times a year. Paint is holding up good considering it's PPG Lacquer. Take a look at the link;
