Damn! I remember that product, but cannot find it in Google. Still made?

I'm guessing silicone-based products would not be an issue if you're gonna
media blast the body, right?

In my younger years I had a Datsun 1200 with similar paint. I ended up using
TR-7 Resin Glaze (name of product, not type of car). That stuff would
actually hold up for awhile. HOWEVER, it is silicone based and the scourge
of paint shops. It can be very difficult to get the surface totally stripped
and clean of these compounds in preparation for spraying new paint, so I
would not recommend it if you forssee a repaint in your future.
