Yea, the red is a single stage paint, it if hasnt cracked up and been extremely oxidized lots of times you can polish off the oxidation to a nice shine....or you can just keep it shiny from the begining.

Good soapy wash, claybar the whole car over, then power polish with a couple of strengths of polish called Workout from Car Brite. If I recall correctly we used Workout 1500 and Workout 1000 afterwards. ;)
