Just wanted to make sure before I give her a nice detail.
While I'm here, how do you treat a non-clearcoat car vs. a clearcoat car?
Thanks!

It should be Clearcoat. A way to verify on any car, if you are not sure is to take a polish/wax with a mild abrasive in it and apply it to the inside of a door. If paint comes off onto the applicator, your paint is not clear coated.
The biggest difference in clear versus enamels/laquers is in the initial prep. Some enamels, laquers, urethane colors have a tendency to oxidize quickly, so that needs to be cleaned up first. After that it becomes more of a personal opinion of what works best.

also check your build date. if it was built in early 94, it probably doesn't have a CC. They started putting on CC later in the model year.
