Well now that spring is just around the corner i am looking into getting my car back to shinny condition biggrin.gif 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!!!

Sounds a little odd but its worth a try.
I had oxidized paint in front of my sunroof on my Talon. When it got it wet, it went away... 3 minutes later.. BACK. I thought i needed to have my top sanded down and repainted cause i tried everything - wax,buff, etc. However, my good friend with long fingernails was able to scratch it off. Being a nail clipper fan I used a light grade SOS pad, like kitchen stuff, and lightly scrubbed it all away. Then use a medium grade wax and buff out the light scratches. Worked for me - NO MORE WHITE - YEAHHHH! biggrin.gif
