The original paint on my pure-German 300D was similar. I applied three coats of Maguiar's #7. First the clay bar treatment then the wax. I let the first coat of #7 soak for 24 hours so the paint could absorb the oil. Then applied two more coats per instructions, then two applications of Mother's Carnuba wax. I liked the results. That 914 should clean up the same.

All hand application, NO buffer involved.

Change the transmission oil too. I've taken apart transmissions stored for years in a hot climate and found the oil deteriorates and leave a waxy coating on all the interior parts.

I totally agree. We too often ignore the transmission oil. I change mine once a year.
