    Re: Just bought a 1981 datsun 280zx, paint is oxidized, need help, UPDATED

    well guys, i started and i just want to give an update.

    My hood is not giving any great result, just a bit better.
    #80 was a pain to remove, I used the DA and it seem to dry too fast, and it was really hard to remove. I could use my bare skin hand to remove the residu, and it look just like I was using those big white eraser, with the eraser coming off.

    Second try, i used the DA for few seconde just before it dry, and i remove it, it is easier remove but doesn't give great result.

    anyways, here are the pics. The roof seem be to much better. I found a turbo hood, so i'm going to replace my hood with that.

      Sorry, there's only so much you can do and you did it all. Meguiar's product work great but there comes a point when the paint is past the point of no return.
