Any suggestions on restoring old paint.

The B was repainted about 20 years ago with a pretty good quality enamel (no
orange peel effect) that shines up pretty nice.  Kit Scratch Out does a
great job at preparing the surface and it looks like a newer paint job
afterwards.

Problem is the paint oxidizes real quick (blue does that I quess).  To keep
the car shine up, I have to buff it about every two weeks.  I've tried a
number of waxes, but doesn't seem to matter.  It just oxidizes.

I think it needs a sealer of some sort that will bond with the old paint to
harden it.  Thoughts.
