If its never been done, I would strongly recommend a good claying and then a quality polish/wax.

The clay bar will remove all the road contaminants she's picked up over the years. Just make sure the clay bar is new and I'd recommend a spray bottle with some soap water in it to act as the lubricant.

There's really alot of different brands available to suit just about any taste. I prefer to use Mother's products. Over the years I have found them to be the best for my needs and there's several car care kits to choose from.

The most important thing is to buy quality and inspect the clay bar before use. Make SURE there's no dirt or other contaminants in the bar before use as it will scratch the heck out of your paint. Also if you drop it on the ground, throw it in the trash. Even if it looks clean in the area you dropped it, chances are it will pick up lots of abrasives.
