RE: Paint Oxidizing
Some pics would help...
In the link below, scroll down to the section on Oxidation... In this article they used Klasse all in one which works miracles on oxidation but you have to order it over the web. (at least in myarea)You could use Meguiars Scratch X (Wal-Mart) for minor oxidation... 3M Perfect it II (NAPA Auto Parts) for medium oxidation, Meguiar's Diamond Cut (Pep Boys) for heavier oxidation... Apply by hand with a clean terry cloth or microfiber If you have a buffer, hit it with a wool pad and follow up with medium cut pad, then light cut pad, andpolishing pad. (Depending on how bad it is, you may be able to start with a medium or light cut etc.) Severe oxidation can be removed with sandpaper, but I wouldn't advise attempting that... Good luck http://autopia.org/forum/guide-detai...nt-clinic.html This actually belongs in the "Detailing" section if one of the mods would be so kind as to move it there. :) |

RE: Paint Oxidizing
I tried Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor just to check it out... and it removed it completely temporarily and came back after...maybe I gotta use something stronger...

RE: Paint Oxidizing
From the pics, I'd say that'swell beyond what anything can fix besides a repaint...

RE: Paint Oxidizing

RE: Paint Oxidizing
The most aggressive approach toward any paint defect is wetsanding... That oxidation has eaten pretty far down into the paint. Paint correction isremoving paint. The objective is to remove the bad paint from the surface until you get down to good paint... but like I said, that oxidation is pretty deep and removing what paint you have left will more than likely go into bare metal.
2000/2500 grit wet sandingusing a rubber sanding block, follow up with polishes as I stated in the earlier post. And if I were you, I wouldn't attempt that until I actually had money for a repaint ready to go. 9 times out of 10 you will have to... Best of luck to you bro... [8D] |

RE: Paint Oxidizing
I dont want to sand it:(.... wats the strongest under sanding..like which liquid/polish would best work..?

RE: Paint Oxidizing
Will you be doing this by hand, PC or rotary?
|
RE: Paint Oxidizing
^ ^ Either way, the most aggressive I'veused and keep on hand is Meguiars Diamond cut. It is Meguiar's most abrasive compound. Most efficientif used with a rotary,decent if by PC and will work you to death by hand.
