          Oxidation is my next big job to tackle on a friend's teal '97 Dodge Ram 1500. Its been neglected and the spot I worked on with clay and the #83 was still a bit rough, but shiny, and with tell tale spots of oxidation. Anything I can do with the PC or should these be taken to a professional?
