Well now that spring is just around the corner i am looking into getting my car back to shinny condition
 But the previous owner of my car did not like to wax the car. So my paint on my hood and top of my car is oxidized. Does anyone have any tips on what to do to get rid of it. During the summer after i waxed it you cant see it that bad unless you get close. Help!!!ps i use meguirs wax. |

If you really want to go to town on it use a 4 step process: 1st the Clay bar (I use Mother's), followed by Meguiar's Scratch X, then several coats of Polish (Meguiar's Deep Crystal), topped of with a coat or two of Meguiar's Deep Crystal Wax. I found these products at Pep-Boys. Wal Mart carries a few of them also. I highly recommend that you use a hand held orbital buffer like the 6" ones they sell at Wal Mart. You can do a much better job than going at it by hand. I'm still working on my white 95 ST as the weather and time permit. I don't think it ever saw a coat of wax with the previous owner. The contamination and oxidation of the paint job was pretty widespread but you'd have a hard time telling it now on the areas I've completed the 4 step process. It really works! If you need anymore info let me know. |
