I bought a car that the previous owner said has had an "Imron"
metal flake paint job.  The previous owner said one does not put
wax on this type of paint.  Is there a product that can be put
on help maintain the gloss and protect the paint?

There are some dime-sized chips (or paint bubbles that have broken off)
that are rusty.  What can be done about these spots?
Should touch up paint be put on them or does there need to be
some preparation first?  What would a body shop do for "exterior
detailing".

Thank you very much.

** Painting, painting **

Wax makes any paint look better.  Go ahead and wax it.

You can't buy Imron touch up paint, but you can try to match the color as
best you can in enamel.  Use wax remover or enamel reducer on the spots to
get any wax off and touch up with a brush.  If the spots are too big to
touch up that way you'll have to feather them out and try to match the color
in Imron.  Unless a "standard" color was used (one with a known mix formula)
this will be difficult.  Repainting may be the only answer if it's real bad.
