Default Re: Care of original paint (mid 60's Laquer)

I know there was a really old guy that used to come into the Olds dealer I worked at in the early 80's with his gold 442. The paint looked awesome and was original paint. He said he washed the car with 1 part kerosene and 2 parts water. Also, when he wanted to wipe it down between washes, he'd use the same stuff.

I remember him telling me that the old time limo drivers would use this trick to keep their limos looking great?

I guess it makes sense, since bug and tar remover have petroleum distillates...as well as some car waxes?
