oxidation

Hi guys. When I got my car, it had a pretty bad oxidation problem on the back half. It's got a ton of white spots and what-not, but otherwise, the body is pretty straight. I'd like to try to save the current paint job, as I don't really have the money to get a new one for awhile. Is there any way to bring back at least some color, or is it a lost cause?

you might be able to bring back some color. Go to an auto parts and pick up some products made to bring paint back to life. Its worth a try.

Mother's makes a clay bar that I've had success with.....Use that first, and then use Meguire's 3 step system. Good luck
